Wow....what a great sound...and an incredible HP bump!
With springs, cams and labor is $3698
I appreciate the way cams make the GT500 lope. However, the price for parts and labor is steep for what you actually gain. I'd much prefer to keep the "stealthy misleading" stock sounding idle with a larger blower for that price and make 700+ rwhp.
Hello! I was just curious what type of gains would you figure would be seen on a GT500 with a 2.9 Whipple over the stock blower??
And also, how would you say your stage III customs compare to the L&M 5.4 cam specs: 236/242 @.050 .575" lift (I know you can't get too open with your specs for obvious reasons) I am just curious if your custom stage III/Comp grinds are anywhere around .500" since the Comp stage III's are around the mid .400's I believe. I am very interested in a cam upgrade, just trying to maximize the bang for buck between the options of you guys (MMR), L&M, or JDM. Thanks so much!!!!
the cam specs referred to are mine. I made just shy of 100rwhp on the cam on a MD1100 dyno. Power was still climbing at 7k rpm. That cam worked out pretty well for my setup.I think our history says it all, no one has come close to making the kind of power that MMR has. Now for the tech and facts, The specs you have listed are just a standard lobe available from comp. The other problem we see is the lift. The Factory heads taper off on the flow bench sharply at .550, this means any additional lift is just lost HP from the cam fighting spring pressure. The MMR cams are more aggressive and properly designed around the head itself. Bottom line is there is no point in opening the valve .580 if the cylinder head stops flowing at .550 (in stock form), the specs you have listed would have made more power with less lift!
Please let us know if you have any other questions!
