On a otherwise stock motor you should pick up about 15hp. Add some headers & a cut out , you should see a good 20 - 25 hp gain.

When I did the Hotcam on my car I gained 32rwhp and 21rwtqI think it put me at 373/369, then I did my cam I have now and a LS6 intake and gained another 39rwhp to put me at 412
everyone that I know that has doe the hotcam doesn't have it any more because they what to go bigger after they do it, it a great cam I think but if you think your going to do 2-3 cam swaps then fo for if, if your just wanting to do 1 then go bigger.Last edited by BerryWS6; 12-31-2005 at 11:29 AM.

Black/Black- 2000 TransAm WS6
What cam did you put in? I'm looking to do a cam in my 2000 WS6, but not sure which one. It's a daily driver, so I can't get too radical. Any suggestions?
BTW - I got smoked by A Mustang Corba the other day and it really pissed me off, so I'm building up my bird!
Thanks.

Its called the XP Colusus cam 238/242 .605/.610 110LSA+2 @.050" I use a place in OKC called Extreme Performance (405)-721-2430 good guys talk to Robert
they can do this cam on a 113 LSA+4 and it is great in a daily driver

Berry - Those are some pretty stout numbers. When you say cam only, you mean stock LS1 intake, exhaust manifolds, cats and y?
I've been considering a 236/230 reverse split cam, but if your numbers are with stock cast iron exhaust manifolds, I might have to reconsider.

no the cam only refers to stock heads I have LS6 intake headers all the bolt ons
and the 412 is through a 12 bolt so if I had the stock 10 bolt in there it might be around 425 or so

Ok, thats what I thought.
Still good numbers though. I didn't realize that a 12 sucked up that kinda power. I guess we don't have much other choice if we want durability.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to do the LS6 intake and a set of shorty headers (I know, I should do LTs but I got the shorties for free - JBAs :dunno: ).

My car gained 41 RWHP with the cam I put in it.
Lunati 226/234 554/575 112lsa.
Not huge, but not small.
Before cam VS. after cam (pic)
That was cam over bolt-ons. Nothing changed but the cam, valvesprings, and pushrods. The lower graph shown had a bent pushrod.
Stock throttle body, stock pulley, LS6 intake, all other bolt-ons.
For the video it was open headers....but it sounded pretty good through the Loudmouth at idle as well.
I ditched the Loudmouth because of the sound though. It was horrible after I installed the cam.
OH YEAH!!! Stock tune for both dyno's.
