Its Magic Bitch
We are proud to announce our LS Cam and Power Packages. We have spent countless hours nailing down the math on these engines, which allows us to squeeze every bit of power we can out of a stock head. I'll let the power numbers speak for themselves.
To get things going we started with a 125K mile LQ4 6.0 out of a 2003 pickup. This engine is supposed to make 300 HP and 360 lb-ft of torque.
Stock GM Rating
We know with a good tune these engines wake up but then you push the limits of the stock intake, injectors and valve springs. To remedy this we added a Trailblazer SS intake, 92mm Throttle Body, 36# injectors, and yellow GM valve springs. Not to mention a KILLER TUNE. This brought the 300 HP LQ4 to 421 HP and 444 lb-ft of torque on the stock cam. Thats killer but the problem with the stock cam is you begin to fall off with TQ at 4300 rpm. Check out Pull 3.
To remedy that our Baby cam was drawn up. We knew the 317, 243 and 799 cathedral port heads could only flow so much without porting. The Baby cam was designed to push them to that. With the Baby cam package, "cam, springs, retainers, locks, pushrods", in the same engine we hit 460 HP and 460 lb-ft of torque. Torque only fell off as the heads ran out of air. Check Pull 5.
That beats LS3 HP and Torque! With head porting and a compression bump you could easily add 5-10% to those numbers. 5.3 guys we have numbers for you as well. The 5.3 with the Baby cam hit 415 HP and 410 lb-ft of torque.
For you guys that want higher compression, better heads, and or stroker the Big Baby cam is following right behind. Just to verify we ran the Big Baby in our setup above and, as expected, it chocked out at 5k, where it was still making 450 hp and 450 lb-ft. It peaked at 470 hp and 460 lb-ft. This cam will be an animal with proper air flow. We will reconfigure and run this cam again with ported heads and 10.5 - 11 to 1 compression. We will beat 500 hp.... easy. Until then I'm not promising anything and I will post numbers good or bad.
L92 Heads are drawn up and the math is there. They will be run in the next month or two. Our goal is to make the most out of a stock setup/stock parts. Most guys don't have $8k-$15k to spend on an engine. Look what you can do with a junk yard engine, junk yard parts and a WELL designed cam!
For those of you who will question these numbers, everything was done on a digital SuperFlow engine dyno that is calibrated every 2-3 engines. You are free to contact the Dyno Shop for any authenticity requests. (208) 466-7005. The Dyno Shop is the actual name of the shop.
EDIT
So I am getting some confusion reports.
Pull 3 on the chart is the STOCK cam with better valve springs.
Pull 5 is the BABY cam with the valve springs and push rods to match it.
YES, Pull 3 made that power with the STOCK cam.

Alright. I have numbers crunched for the Baby Cam Packages.
Package 1 - Baby Cam - 460hp 460 lb-ft - $1400
**You must source your own 1.8 ratio rockers to get the power stated - Summit SUM-G6981 is a good budget set**
Kit includes
Baby Cam
Valve Spring Kit - Springs, Seals, Locks, Locators, Retainers
Moly .080 5/16 Push Rods
ECM Tune
Package 2 - Baby Cam - 460hp 460 lb-ft - $1850
Kit Includes
Yella Terra 1.8 Shaft Mounted Ultralite Rockers
Baby Cam
Valve Spring Kit - Springs, Seals, Locks, Locators, Retainers
Moly .080 5/16 Push Rods
ECM Tune
You will notice there are not LS7 lifters... They are not needed with this cam, so there is no extra hidden cost of head gaskets and head bolts.
Depending on motor condition you may need a timing chain set or you may not. We ran our test engine with the 125k mile timing set through all our dyno pulls.
This package is for Cathedral Port Heads ONLY. If you have L92s or you plan on a stroker let me know. Other cams are shortly behind.
We have a new package. This one is the Big Baby. Same LQ4 base. I'll have specs up very soon.
Till then, the test engine got used this weekend. Rig is an S10 based mud truck and the sled is about 12k......
