Stock Heads/Intake Manifold/TB

I scheduled an appointment with Andy at http://www.carbconn.com to have my car tuned on friday. I showed up and they rolled me right on in. Our first dyno pull was 447 rwhp SAE, with a partial get-to-the-tuner tune that I put on the car. Optimistic for 460 rwhp, I left the car in Andy's capable hands and my wife and I went shopping.

Three hours later, we returned and the car was finished! 470 RWHP sae, 485 actual hp on the dyno (sae was 0.97) I was extremely impressed not with Andy @ CarbConn's tuning abilities, but with the Texas-Speed parts on the car. This cam drives extremely well, with borderline stock characteristics. Probably a combination of the excellent tune on the car, and the good design of the cam. I don't want to be a huge nutswinger of TSP's cams, but at first I didn't think this cam would produce the results I was after, and that'd I'd need something larger... however it appears with an UD Pulley, a ported intake/TB I could easily be looking at 485-490rwhp and well over 510 with heads... seems like a great cam for N/A... and just look at the torque curve! We only dynod to 6500, but I'm going to extend redline to 6900-7 to get the most out of the car. Anyway, proof is in the pudding. Some idle clips below, a dyno clip, and some random pictures

Huge Thanks to Andy @ CarbConn, and Texas-Speed for putting together an affordable Cam/Intake/Exhaust package

So, all I did to my 2010 2 SS Camaro was long tube headers 3 inch exhaust, cold air intake and Trifecta tuning and achieved 450 horse power and 435 torque to the wheels. This was measured on a mustang dyno @ HP Ranch this past Saturday.

All dynos read different, especially different types of dynos. You'd probably make 415-425 on CC's dynojet.

I would say that Dyno was a little off in my opinion. Dont think you could be anywhere close to that.

Ovenmitt, how is the driveability with that cam..? Sounds like what I am after in a few months. Has a nice lope to it!

Ovenmitt · 10-29-2010, 07:07 AM

It drives like stock, 95% of the time. Doesnt like being lugged in a too-low gear below 1300-1400 rpm, but it's certainly surprised me how mild it is. Too bad you aren't local, I'd let you drive it.

--- It's not a ford plate LOL. The chevy symbol is just obscured by lens flare, you can almost make it out on the right side of the plate. The dealership is a chevy/ford side by side. I have a real plate now

Bill Pierre Chevrolet/Bill Pierre Ford, great folks!
