Re: cam question

yes, that is a very mild cam

Re: cam question

If you want a mild cam that will not set codes and runs great, VS cam from ZZP if you want a bigger cam GT-1 or GT-2 cam or even Abotts cam.

Re: cam question

i am hopefully a little while away from a rebuild but i have been doing my research/homework (with great help from all of yall on here-thanks) & was also lookin at the selection from CompCams, being as how ive always used them for my old school small block chevy engines in the years past, that being said, you guys seem to like the 'GT 1&2" cams, i would be interested in having a look at their specs, could you tell me where to find that info & who sells them? are they by GMPerformance parts? -thanks

Re: cam question

zzperformance.com sales them

if they dont like non sponsored links, here is the info on them.

The Competition cams GT cams are designed for use in naturally aspirated applications. ZZP's GT camshafts currently hold all the horsepower and ET records for naturally aspirated L36s.



The GT1 cam was designed for naturally aspirated applications where emissions and street-ability are important. It will not set SES lights. The GT cam uses steep ramp rates and tight base lobes to keep the computer and the sniffer happy while still providing great performance. This cam does not set the P0300 code and can be installed on a stock 3800 all the way to radical. It was designed for the NA L36 but will also work well with nitrous or intercooled boost. It is the only major L36 grind on the market that does not need a converter or gear changes to see gains.



Look for gains of 20-30 HP depending on your car's current configuration with a drop of 1/2 sec in the 1/4 mile.



· 210°/210° at .050"

· Intake Lift .317" (.507" lift at 1.6:1 rocker ratio)

· Exhaust Lift .317" (.507" lift at 1.6:1 rocker ratio)

· 113 LSA





The GT2 cam was designed for use with totally stock heads. Stock springs, keepers, retainer, lifters and pushrods can be used. Upgraded pushrods are recommended but not needed. RPMs past 6200 will require upgraded springs. Either 90 or 105# springs are recommended for high RPM use. Click here for GT2 sound clip



This cam was designed for naturally aspirated applications where maximizing the performance of stock heads is important. It will set the P0300 code unless programmed out of the PCM. Idle is lumpy, especially with headers. Raised shift points (6500), raised rev limiter (7k), and gears/converter are all recommended.



Look for gains of 25-35 HP depending on your car's current configuration.

The GT3 cam was designed for use with ported heads and added displacement. Upgraded pushrods are recommended. For use with stock heads mod'd retainers are required.

This cam was designed for naturally aspirated applications using our stroker kit. For use on a highly modified 3.8 liter, shift points will need to be 6800 - 7k for maximizing the powerband. It will set the P0300 code unless programmed out of the PCM. Idle is lumpy, especially with headers. Gears and a higher stall torque converter are recommended.

Look for gains of 30-40 HP depending on your car's current configuration.

* Intake Lift .335" (.536" lift at 1.6:1 rocker ratio)

Keith Handlon's Camaro:-

Using our Comp Cams GT cam, Keith has dyno'd a best of 220WHP.
The GT cam helped him go from a PB of 14.72 (stock cam) to 13.79 with our GT cam

but ya if anyones running the gt1 cam hook it up with a sound clip :)

Re: cam question

check the exhaust sound clip section but im not sure.

I know radracer is running the gt2

I'm working on a GT2 cam, 105 springs, with supporting mods, P&P intakes and hopefully stage 3 abbot heads through headers and borla exhaust. Should be fun lol.

I'm planning on daily driving it as well so for now just heads/cam set up and maybe some juice later on. I'm aiming for low 13's, high 12 daily driver.

Re: cam question

You will need the juice for the high 12's , but with cam and heads probally high 13's depending on how much gear and weight reduction.

not necessarily...LNorton on the other forum just ran a 12.3 in his class...he did it cammed a bit of bumped up CR, stock heads, and stock exhaust manifold, as well as P&P intake manifold...he has an extreme cam though...

Re: cam question

what about the cam set up I mentioned, heads, intake, GT2, supporting mods, etc and rear end with 4.10s and tuned?

I'll be happy with just a low 13sec timeslip.
