Howdy fellas. I recently ordered a new rotating assembly from TSP after I spun #6 rod bearing on my cam only setup. My previous setup on my 2009 C6 A6 was a G6X3 cam with supporting mods (hardened push rods, springs, etc), LG Super Pro 1 3/4 long tubes ceramic coated, off-road X, NPP catback with Exhaust Commander, and a Circle D 3200 converter with tuning from Futral Motorsports. Car made 460/430 with stock intake. Only pass was with a soft launch went 10.91 at 126. [video]https://youtu.be/lIYhJWdONmM[/video]
I ended up losing a lifter after a while and had to change my cam. Went with the Cadillac Racing lifters and the FMS Dragonslayer cam. Very similar power. Car ran great. But ultimately a rod bearing decided to let go for unknown reasons. Was not an oiling issue.
Anyway. I ordered the balanced rotating assembly for the 416 stroker from TSP. Diamond pistons, Callie's compstart h-beams and crank.
A Melling oil pump and ARP everything from the top down. I should be looking at an 11.2/1 compression. I ultimately plan to spray a 200 shot. Here's my question. My Dragonslayer cam specs out at 234/244 646/630 on a 112+4. I know that isn't going to be big enough for the stroker. What are your educated opinions on how big I should go. I DO daily drive the car but my concern is not as much drivability (I mean I was happy with the big ass G6X3 lol) as it is power, sound and longevity. I do like a lopey idle and my car will almost never see the drag strip. Im staying stock LS3 heads and likely intake manifold but I have a Vararam Snake Charmer on it now along with some BTR .660s.
And before anyone says it, yes my transmission will be going to Century or Circle D before I blast it with the bottle. Here's a couple pics of the motor coming out and the damage to my stock crank.
