What is your take on the headers,I know you have something to prove as a company man that maximize what you sell without all the extra fluff. Do you plan to do headers?What would you expect out of them ?And what would you expect out a Vmax 4x4 set up like yours no headers ,cam, radix,catback on the dyno,Is your cam the right one for your set up?Would you do it again?

The fact that I do not have headers is due to California.....I would run the shorties but I just dont feel that the gains are big enought to spend the money. I would love to run a nice set of long tubes and some nice mangaflow HF cats with a Magnaflow cat back. I think you would be very close to the 500 rwhp mark with the GT2-3 cam, I know this cam is the right set up for me....It made the power and drives like a dream....Would I do it again, in a fuggin heartbeat.

Does this look right? LS1-GT2-3 207 / 220 .571" / .578" 118.5 CL
That is a lot of LC,you think that is what makes the radix work with this cam?What did you use for springs? and what RPM did your cam max at?

Yep, not hard to do with these small diameter MAF sensors.

looks about right....I will admit that I do not speak fluent cam, I hope that someone will help you out with that question.

As for the springs LS6 and I shift at 6500 rpm.

Amen brother I am with you and the LS6 springs,$60 for new ones.Do you remember what your dyno chart looked like? wondering what kind of power you were makeing at 6K rpm Vs your shift point 6500RPM,I gather your tuner decided it was best at 6500 on the dyno?

The higher (numerically) placed ICL allows BC to shift in the 6000+ range with only 207* of duration @ .05'' on the intake side.

To maintain RPM, as .05'' decreases, the ICL needs to be raised. This extends your intake closing point.

I'm guessing this camshaft wasn't based on a 'truck' platform...
