idle chop - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just curious as to the most choppy idle...
tsp 231/236
Vengence stage 3
Lethal stage 3

all are similar spec

Which one is meaner?

It's a toss up between the lethal stage 3 and the 231/236 cam! I have he tsp 236 cam and I vibrate windows when I park at places. Just saying!! Tsp is also coming out with a new bigger badder cam, it also has to do with the way it's installed and tuned as well!! Good luck, but is it the sound or performance you are looking for? If you can get in touch with Darin Morgan he has a way with custom grinds to match you set up that hit and perform!! He will be porting my heads next year!!!

Vengence & Lethal will definitely give more chop than TSP... Depends a bit on tuning too..

Here's a list of a few other good ones...

Why not consider the g6x3 if you want to go all out?

Rage · 12-30-2011, 11:06 AM

+1.... G6x3 will rock ur world

With my cutouts open it is the nastiest cam I have heard. Definitely a nasty lope.

This is with stock mufflers too....

Car sounds badass..what are your Dyno numbers?

Rage · 12-30-2011, 11:22 AM

On a Mustang dyno 449rwhp, 459rwtq. Convert to a Dynojet, 510/520 ish. Love the cam..... insane powerband above 3000rpm. Getting 3" Dynomax VT's installed soon. I already blew the baffles loose in both stock mufflers

Very nice numbers congrats

Alhooti · 12-30-2011, 12:00 PM

Sorry for hijacking the thread but is there a cam without the choppy idle?

Rage · 12-30-2011, 12:33 PM

Yes, mild cams, stage 1, or most cams with low lifts have smooth idles.

I would have definitely chosen this one if they would have given me the specs... I like to know exactly what I have. I bet the specs on this one were very close to the LG as I know the HP gains were.

Sounds just as nasty as well..

dshep214 · 12-30-2011, 12:35 PM

I think my cam sounds pretty choppy and put down some really good numbers as well. Im at 442 rwhp 416 torque on a mustang dyno as well so i would be right at the 500 mark on a dyno jet. here is the video
