GPI cam/head/intake porting testing and results!!!!

Very detailed testing of different variants of our ss3 3 bolt cam, as well as our ported heads with and without CNC chamber work. We also tested our modded ls3 manifold 2 ways. And lastly tested against trick flow athedral fast 92 setup!!

Awesome read fellas. This is why these guys rock! Lots of great info there. Should help making some very educated guesswork pretty much fool proof.

FWIW my current Hyd. GPI cam makes peak pwr at 6600-6700 ish and carries it out nicely without a big fall. starts making 500HP at 5800 and still makes 500 at 7200-7300....

Problem isnt the hyd cam, its the intake. Go with a shorter runner manifold and we can do that with a solid or hyd setup.
