Camper,

Hook up with AZ All Gens next weekend and go for the Mount Lemmon run. I will have mine there. Absolutely love it and very street-able. Only drawback with the M6 is that I don't think it would be a lot of fun to run in a parade.

Im not in town atm...I went on the Tonto run with them a few months back, but im in the lovely state of Iowa(business) now with no real tuner closer than Chicago. its a sad thing really..

i use to say the same thing check my post , until i was proved wrong by a great tuner

It's not the big of a Cam for the G6 but it's the LSA that makes it a beast and needing to check PTV clearances. It's a 111+4!!!
Here are the exact specs

depends on the cam. what you and I think is big may be two very different things..... I can tune most cams to be very very smooth at idle. overlap still stinks. not to mention other issues like vacuum, etc.

I agree. that's a medium street cam. not a large street cam. and certainly not even a small race cam. in fact, there is no small race cam, only the "right cam.". lol.

I have a 243/259 .624/.624 114+3 and I know I should of gone bigger!!! My 2nd mistake Picking a cam!! I should of done one with more duration on the exhaust. But to me it's not big. Remember though that IMHO Ls3's with rectangular ports need at least ~12* more duration on the exhausts side. This is coming straight from Comp's mouth due to how well they flow on the intake side so you must compensate for that. Just my .2

so you only drive the camaro in the rain ?

The only time I use 6th gear is the interstate and Im stock with factory 3.70 gears lol. Adjusting to a large cam wont be that big of a deal for the most part.
I like the TSP231/236 but am going with the Comp 227/235.

dekan513 · 08-06-2012, 10:02 AM

its a big cam for stock heads , and no flycutting , if i thinking right u cant go much bigger with out flycutting or diff angle heads? but ya in terms of a big racing cam its not, its on the big side i think for a street cam.
