I've looked everywhere I can think of but I cant find the rpm ban for any of the GT series cam from zzperformance. Can anyone help me out it's getting close to time for me to order a cam and I need to know which one would be most effective with my setup.
Right now Im torn between the gt1 and gt2 help me out some.
Look at intense-racing.com. they give the RPM band for all their cams and if you have questions call 'em and they'll tell you the best one for your mods. They were awesome when I was doing my build. Try them first.
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.
so basically the stock rpm band more or less
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.
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.
I have the GT2 cam; you really start to feel it pulling around 3200 or so. I don't have reaised limiters, but, as the site says, it's supposed to make power till 6500 or so.

Damm, I would be scared to go that high of RPM , I know mine likes 5900-6000 at the most and thats with my mods right know, but I do have P/P heads with SI valves and P/P upper/lower intakes that I have for spares incase I need to replace something, also ARP head studss with MLS .060 gaskets, Comp lifters and Comp .105 pushrods. So if it needs rebuilt I'm prepared.LOL Just waiting,LOL Maybe the turbo will spring something loose.LOL Good luck on shifting that high.

I'm very happy with my Intense stage 3 cam! It's loppy as all @#$! especially with the headers and the 3" exhaust! It pulls like a V8 at over 3500 rpm's and will spin up faster with better gears. I have no worries about my motor at those rpm's, it's built for it.

I think I'm fine at 6000 rpms and the turbo will like it also, less stress and wear on engine componets shifting at 6000 rpms. Are you guys that are shifting that high adjusting your oil PSI up so your not running lean on oil PSI up top? Thats what I thought of when I saw some other posts that you needed to add a pump kit to increase your oil PSI levels past 6000 RPMS. Is that true?

Stock oil pressure at WOT is 50-55 psi and sufficient for daily driving, an oil kit will increase it to a racing safer 80-85. It's highly recommended if you're going to bem doing alot of racing or run it over 6000 rpm's. Yup I got one.
