4.6 eatin gm's

i have a cam laying around that a friend gave me out of his 01 2500 hd 6.0.
he said if he remebers right the cam specs are 226/230 558/568 112lsa 4 degrees advanced. i know it was fast in his truck but never dynoed it. what kind of power will this make in a lq9 with longtubes? thanks in advance

horse power and tq.. lol. dunno but on the end of the cam does it have a Grind number stating what cam it is?


The power it makes is going to depend mainly on how good your tuner is. btw

tuner is best in the bay area new tech performance. and the cam is a custom grind. i know the cam rips, my friend had it at the track in his 01 2500hd 4x4 on a 150 shot with only 600psi bottle pressure ran 11.72 @ sac raceway.
im just seeing if i could get a ball park estimate from some of u guru's

You should be able to get around 370-385rwhp, obviously depending on the tune. I remember seeing a few LQ4's with TR224 cams put down 376 and 380. Your cam's a little bigger, plus the added compression...do the math.

That's a pretty healthy cam, it'll rip on the top end in an LQ9, but would really respond well to some good head work and more compression, I'm guessing that 11:1 would be optimal. I'd also recommend about a 3400 stall converter to get you up into the set up's powerband quicker

the motor came with some 317's what do u suggest i do with them im pretty new to lsx based motors should i have these sent out some where to have work done to them or should i look into other heads (after market and so on)
i have money to spend. my plan right now is longtubes,this cam,performa built 4l60e,rear end work,cai.
and all of this is going into my single cab short bed truck

I'd send the heads to WCCH for a StageII treatment, and have them milled .030 to .040 to bump the compression up. The LQ9 has 10.08:1 compression, but after WCCH is done with the combustion chambers of the heads, they're at 74cc from 72cc, so without milling your compression will actually go down. Give Richard at WCCH a call, he's an awesome guy to talk to and his knowledge is never-ending There's a link to their website to the right>>>> or you can check out their website here: http://www.proheads.com/ You can check out the flow numbers and some pics of their StageII 317's here: http://www.proheads.com/WCCH%206.0L.html

I can't say enough good things about the customer service at WCCH. I have a set of their StageII 317's for the LQ9 that I'm slowly building, and Richard has been more than accommodating. I still call him with questions and looking for advice and he's always willing to take the time to answer my questions and help me out.

BTW, sounds like you have some good plans for the truck...you didn't mention tuning though. We have some great sponsors here that can help you out with that too...Blackbear, Wheatley, Nelson. I'm planning to have my truck re-tuned by Justin at Blackbear after I pay off and install my FLT Level7 4L65E
