Too much cam, better take some back out.



Sounds great, how does it feel?

It pulls real hard!  450 RWHP now, in a week it will be 625 and some change at the wheels or about 715 at the flywheel.  Should pull just a little harder then.

Sounds really good. I love cammed LS motors. What duration did you go with? It seems to be a bit small unless you are planning on only 8-10psi or so, maybe a 230 or so? It may be the video or my computer. Cant wait to see how your build progresses. Did you do a build thread somewhere? Details! Dont worry about the govt motors hits, the foreigners cant touch American muscle in a traditional way!

Heres a 248* for 21psi on a 426 hemi. I think I am going to up it to 258* next year.

Procharger D1-sc.  gonna keep the boost and tune conservative since the bottom end is stock.  Were shooting for 625 RWHP or about 715 at the crank.  I am gonna build a stroker LS3 with all forged internals 416 cubes and up the boost to get to about 800 RWHP.  This lower HP will do for a while anyway till i get the stroker saved up for.

WOuld you mind telling me what a procharger costs?

I have a CTS-V and have thought of a supercharger setup with headers and hi flo cats and a tune.

The only SC kit out there is from Magnusson, which is a roots style.  Any advantage with the Procharger?

I am not sure i want to drop the coin as I have thought of selling the car...I'm bored.  can you relate?

I thought the CTS-v was supercharged?  Anyway my setup is about 7500 and another 1300 for a dual fuel pump upgrade to allow more boost.  The procharger or centrifugal chargers are apparently more efficient than the roots and others (here comes the 9mm vs 45 arguments).  they also have cooler inlet temps due to intercooler.  They are not as torqey down low where the maggies and whipples are.  The centris make more and more power with RPM.  They also dont look a cool and the top mount SCs according to some.  I normally dont drive around with my hood up





This guy is running the same procharger D1 as my setup.  You can see it gets stronger and stronger the more RPMs you pull where the roots style tend to run out of steam up high.....I am no expert however.  But 175 in a camaro is pretty stout

YOu could always go headers, aggressive cam and tune.  should get the LS2 another 100 to the wheels and for a little over 3500.

Just got home from SNLPerformance.com in Fort Worth..Three days of work later the car dyno'd 735  crank HP and 670 Ft lbs torque with cam, headers, and procharger D1-sc with lingerfelter twin fuel pumps and custom dyno tune from SNLperformance.  Here is the 4th dyno pull of 6.

Sounds awesome! How much boost are you running. How about IAT and timing. Cant wait to see some timeslips!

Only running 7 lbs boost for the stock LS3 bottom end.   IATs were in the high 180-190s on the Dyno with only that little fan blowing.  On the way home 100 miles it was only 6 degrees above ambient.  the intercooler works!  The tune was conservative and the tuner Matt pulled some timing on the top end to be safe.  he said it had quite a bit more in it but I want the motor to last a while till i build my 416 forged stroker.  I dont track this car....just want it to be different than the other 5 black camaros in this town  Its stupid fast!

Yep, something definitely wrong, it has a big silver hunk of metal hanging off the front of it making an obnoxious whining sound
