I have no experience with the cam, or a cammed 5.3, so I had to use that as a bit of a disclaimer.

I live in edmond work in downt town okc and come to Yukon almost every weekend to drink beer at my friends house which is by the end of the turn pike. I think morgan rd and something.

 

It amazes me how people will bad mouth something they have never tested or tried. A lot of cam changes and a lot of tuning went into the piece. I know because I hang out a lot at VHP in Orlando where a lot of the development was done. They had supercharged Vettes with 5ooRWP, blown Hummers, lots of F bodies both NA and blown. An expert with a dyno might get 2 or 3 extra HP on a given day, but I doubt his tune would be any better over a wide range of atmospheric conditions. But then what do I know. I have only built a carburetor that won the Daytona 500 once and I've had several national record holding fuel systems in NHRA including PRO Stock. What would I know!!!

 

don't pick on my boy hink9. He is jsut saying for optimal performance especially in a camshaft that is alittle bigger let's say 220 duration and up in 4.8 and 5.3 the tuning can be very difficult. I personally wouldn't tune it myself but alot of people don't feel comfortable with tuning their own things. I am not sure but they call hypecrap a tune and diablo a tuner but the only thing they really tune is speedo, a few other samll things not really altering much. I would rather have someone do a custom tune with ls1 edit then screw with the messing up everything. But what do I know I only drive 80 down the highway.

 

i live off of czech hall rd. wife works in edmond, i m up there on tuesday for lunch.

man i think i am gonna bid on that cam.

 

The Crane tuner has tuning for cams up to 216 @ .050 for the trucks and 228@ .050 for F bodies and Vettes. The tuning is selectable by various cam performance levels that are preprogrammed into the tuner. It has tuning for superchargers that is automatic when the engine sees positive manifold pressure. It allows the use of higher flow injectors up to 120% larger than stock. It compensates for tire sizes in 1/4 inch increments. You can increase idle speed in 50 rpm increments up to 300rpm over stock. (No need to drill holes in the throttle plates). You can shift the advance curves + or - 10% to compensate for exhaust restriction. It can be tuned for regular, mid grade or premium fuel. It allows shift point change and shift firmness change. No matter what sequence of key strokes you use, you can't screw anything up. It's a great tool for a lot of people who don't have access to a competent tuner or who don't want to spend the money on a custom tune. It is an extremely competent product for it's intended application. All I'm saying is don't bad mouth a product or someones work when you don't know anything about it!
