Still waiting on the dyno sheet to be e-mailed. The cam came in today so I took a pic of the card. The lobes seem to be more aggressive than I thought they would be.

Got the cam installed yesterday. Started on the first try! Initial impressions are that the car picked up power everywhere! Still needs a re-tune and that process will start tomorrow

Did a quick datalog on my AutoCal - the MAF readings are up 11.7% vs the Dyno. I am no tuner by any means but that seems like a fairly substantial amount?

My LS3 build with a BTR St3 cam fired up last week but unfortunately the 121k mile trans didn't survive initial tuning. It's getting rebuilt and will hopefully have results next week.

Sounds like the same woes I have with my C6

My LS3 swap with a BTR Stage III truck cam is finally up and running. Very happy so far, feels like a great match to the Circle-D converter and Kooks longtubes. Great idle and it pulls pretty hard even in my 3-ton Avalanche. It's only been about 100 miles but so far I'm pulling down about 13.8 mpg compared to about 11 for the mostly stock L76 I pulled out. Even with my foot in it quite a bit. Didn't expect that at all, in fact I was counting on losing a significant amount of mpgs.

Going to give it a few tanks of gas, an oil change, and then I'll have dyno #s.

This is great. I've been watching and searching for relavant feedback on this cam for some time. Keep the info coming. Pretty sure this will go in my Avalanche after this deployment.
Whats your stall? I have a Yank TT3000 in the box waiting to install.

Chris from Circle-D recommended their HP series 278mm 26-2800, based on the fact that it's my DD and I tow somewhat frequently. I'm happy with it so far although my tuner needs to fine-tune the low-rpm lockup.

Sounds Wicked!!!!
cant wait to see some dyno numbers. You're the closest to what I want to build. I think I want to do an LS2 bottom with LS3 heads. I already have the same headers and a Corsa Touring, so this is as close as it gets so far...
Keep it up,

Mike
