Cam + Fast LSX/90mm

[Vertiviper]

What kind of rwhp could I expect with a mild cam/ FASTlsx intake and 90m TB.

I currently have ARH 1 3/4" LTs,ORY, CAI and Magnamouth exhaust. 338rwhp currently on my 99 T/A M6

Also, anyone with a similar setup have any cam reccomendations?

looking at 50rw+

I have pretty much the same setup. Hooker LT's (same size as yours), no cats, no A/C, no air pump to heat up the cats, no EGR, have a custom Y-pipe and magnaflow catback exhaust. I have the 85mm BBK intake with the stock TB, and a compcams cam (222/224)...I recommend you go bigger than that, and I have 386RWHP @ 6200 RPM and 373ft-lbs @4500 RPM. You should have more than me. When you swap out the cam I also recommend getting better pushrods (if you havent already), and LS7 roller lifters, that way you can raise the redline to 6500-7000RPM. I have mine set at 7000RPM, but the valves start to float at 6500RPM (but thats due to a stock valvetrain and heads). I hope this gives you a better idea. I would say that you would be close to 400RWHP with a good tune.

I got all of my parts from ws6store.com. You should check them out. They have everything that you need.

With headers, exhasut, a lid i made 337rwhp, you beat me by 1 hp, i have a 228/232 .585/.595 112lsa cam and lsx intake manifold sitting in my closet. Also new springs, pushrods, timing chain, im just waiting on my oil pump and gaskets and i will be puttign all that on including a new cltuch, but im thinking 390-410rwhp with a tune. It doesnt make any sense to put you redline at 7000rpms, if you loose power after 6400 and you valve float at 6500.

probably about 35-40 depending on what "mild" cam

[2000T/A Guru]

ah no, wit ha 228/232 cam most poeple gain 40-50rwhp from the cam alone, with the lsx intake manifold thats good for another 15rwhp. With good bolt ons and a tune you could see a 50-70rwhp gain, depending on cam.

i agree

[Vertiviper]

can anyone reccomend a cam?

[Toes]

really your going to have to make up your own mind for what you want for a end result. eventually going with a TSP TV.3 and a set of heads

While your at it get the intake ported

You should do that when you get the set of heads that you want, that way you can portmatch them.

As far as a cam goes, I went with comp, and havent had any problems. Apparently they have a program out now where you can see the results of putting a cam in it. I have only heard about it. But the tech's there can easily help you with a cam that you would want. Just email them, and they will get back to you within a week.

When I get the set of heads that I want, then the valves wont float anymore. I set it there without knowing that they would float. I didnt really want to go back and have it changed again.

Here's a pic of my dyno sheet...like I said before its a pretty mild compcams 222/224 cam.
