got to play with a 6.0 on a dyno

When we put the big cam in and did the pull it was obvious we were running out of air. The big baby is still smaller than alot of companies torque cams. It's a case of matching parts. And we matched them really well with the baby.

BTW it was a killer tune. With a couple hours pretty sure we could improve those numbers but we were looking to get real world comparable numbers
 
Why the TBSS intake? I'm certainly no expert, but of the many testing articles I've read the standard truck intake outperforms all the car intakes by a significant amount. Seems there wouldn't be tremendous gains to be made over an already great working intake?

Any love for us 5.3 losers? :popcorn:

There is much love! Baby cam with a slight different LSA and the intake setup above should be right at 415-420 on both numbers. The 5.3 want a little larger LSA due to smaller displacement. Although, if you want a high HP number you could run the same Baby....

TBSS is a truck intake that outflows the old truck intake. Also alows a 90+ MM throttle body to be used.

You can not imagine the instant response this cam gave. It was insane on RPM increase.
 
Have you baselined and dynoed both intakes with no other changes to get some hard numbers? Not trying to be a dick, I'm genuinely curious...

*edit* just saw the TBSS allows for the 90mm TB *edit*

I have not. Tune wise on a VE table I can see the old intake hit a wall well before the heads run out of air. With the TBSS the heads run out of air and the fuel consumption is up, so I know I am using more air.

On the dick part.... I'm a big boy and I am here to be as honest as I can with these setups. That's why I am taking the numbers public right away.

Feel free to ask questions, I'll answer the best I can.
 
Yeah, me too...except I'm days away from fire-up. I'll be watching this and probably planning some engine love in the winter. I couldn't bear to undo anything at this point.

Gotcha. So the TBSS intake will run up higher. I should probably stop talking to you now, or I'll be trying to do a cam and intake swap as well as everything else before Blazer Bash yet...:whistle:

LOL, yeah..... They will be here when you get back. I will have the final tune worked out for the kits in the next 2-3 weeks. Hell, I'll have one for the 5.3 too.

Eric didnt talk about the L92 cams and the turbo cams..... :whistle:
 
Be interested to hear your take on lobe profiles. I have talked to Geoff over at EPS quite a bit and like his science on a less harsh profile to the lobes resulting in less drivetrain stress.

What are your thoughts on that?

Define less harsh? You talking roller flat tappet? What would be harsh on one would be a walk in the park on the other. With that said, if I straight put out the specs on the cams everyone would laugh and say there is no way that cam is making that. When your cam matches your heads airflow it doesn't matter if its tiny or huge, your parts match. As airflow efficiency and volume go up so do the size of the cams. What I would call a harsh cam is one that has a huge peak hit. Its flat and then BAM, it hits super hard for the remainder of the RPM. To me that is not an efficient cam. By the time that cam hits the other rig with an efficient cam is catching the next gear and pulling away. For what we do, 4x4 wise, a harsh cam sucks!

That close? :confused:
 
Wow impressive numbers. I'd really like to see what you can do with the L92 heads. [emoji14]opcorn:
 
This is cool! wait till you port them sumbiches.. That wakes them up good or swapping l92 heads.
I was involved with a Miata ls swap and at the time we went from a stock 5.7 ls1 built a 383 with the tsp 224/228 that made 416 at the wheels, blew that up, built a ls3 based stroker 416ci same heads that made 460 same cam also, blew it up again.. Rebuilt it, out l92 heads ported and flowing 300+ intake cfm, said screw it went Ms3 on the cam, bump the comp to 11:5-1 fast 105/105 haltec Ecm and ls7 lifters, that last I heard it made 560whp through a t56 and cts rear diff.. In a freaking Miata.. 2400lbs of holy crap.
That was scary but a learning experience none the less. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. It seems you are on the right track. Bigger isn't always better.
 
This round of cams is made for cathedral port heads. L92s take a whole other design. They are in the works already.

Any reviews coming in from those who have had the tune a while now?

There is going to be an on going review starting in Nov covered by a certain magazine or 2..... Then come Hammers there will be about a dozen racing them. As well as a few turbo engines running the turbo cams. Gearing up to build a twin turbo 408 for a new 4400 car.

Reviews are coming. :pimp:
