BTR Stage 3 cam installed

Finally got around to installing the BTR Stage 3 cam in my LS3 camaro. The drivability is damn near stock, and the sound is just perfect. No dyno as of right now but it will be on one soon. I highly recommend this cam to anyone wanting a lot more power while staying NA

It might be a little difficult to make one with no go pro or anything, but I'll try it out.

What's your full set up from top to bottom with this cam?

Like rockers, chain, oil pump etc.

Nice! I've heard they're the perfect cam to compliment FI as there's virtually no overlap between intake and exhaust. Enjoy your newly found power! Keep us posted post tune on how she drives.

BTR .660 dual springs with titanium retainers, melling high pressure pump, upgraded pushrods, Katech C5R chain, ls2 dampener, 3 bolt timing gear, and stock tickers for now.

I have the BTR stage 4 with everything that you have,did you get the push rods from BTR and which ones did you get. This is my first build and I just want to make sure I do it the right way.

I have this in my garage as well! Will be installing in a few weeks can't wait! I plan to go FI way down the line and made sure this would work

Yes I got the chromoly pushrods from BTR. 7.4" length, and I measured just to verify. On a side note, this cam absolutely makes enough power to overcome the stock clutch. I took it out to the track, and the clutch stuck to the floor after my launch, trying to go to do the 1-2 shift.

My LS3 would do that stock all the way to 680rwhp. It's that sucky pressure plate that GM put in these things.

I've heard that, and a number of other causes for it. Seems the only true fix is changing up to an aftermarket clutch. Any recommendations?
