i like the thought of mace cams 70-30whp is pretty much all i want to chase after anyways. this car feels like an amazing sports class cross country GT car with the v6 in it. those cams i feel would be a nice improvement. id hate to be that guy<------ but after looking at cost NA is a nicer way to go.

if i was to do power mods i would just do a big bore LFX bore out the cylinders bigger pistons , injectors, exhaust, tune ect ect ehhh i can dream
Comments like this kinda highlight the general misinformation. The injectors are basically never maxed out. The cylinders have to be sleeved to be bored to any reasonable amount. Exhaust does little to nothing.

The MACE Cams exist. If you inquire, you can probably buy a set. They're like $900 for us. Install and tuning is the issue.

To my knowledge, now there are multiple people with MACE cams. Install for 4 cams vs the performance gain is what I was talking about - typical gains were only like 30whp I think which would be expensive for having to tear the heads apart. With your 2010 LLT you won't have the issue the 2012+ LFX's have with the exhaust manifold being integrated into the head and the exhaust gases getting sucked back into an adjacent cylinder due to the cam overlap. If you have headers you're golden. I still don't know what the tuning support for the LLT is because other than say Overkill with his remote tuning, I don't think any one company is "great" at tuning the LLT. You might get lucky with a forum member that has a MACE cam LLT though, a couple guys do their own stuff. MagnumForceGB comes to mind, he's done a ton.

Hey, guys, I'm a fellow LFX owner as I do have a 2014 Cadillac ATS with the LFX motor, I'm in California and looking for a shop/individual to do the installation. Would any of you know anybody within an 8-hour drive of Los Angeles or anybody willing to assist? Thanks
