Z06 Cam Swap Dyno Results
I just finished dynoing a new 01 5.3 truck on my dynojet 248 chassis dyno.
Mostly stock with some bolt ons.
261 RWHP before cam
297 RWHP with 02 z06 cam
(stock springs, retainers,pushrods etc (didnt change any valvetrain, i checked for coil bind and there is none)
311 RWHP Removed serpentine belts

Re: Z06 Cam Swap Dyno Results
Wow, that's pretty good for just a cam swap. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
How did the bottom and midrange power look compared to the stock cam?

It made more power from 3100 rpm on. Below 3100 is was a minimal (5 hp) difference, and it just pulled away all the way up.

Re: Z06 Cam Swap Dyno Results
The stock springs go more than .500 lift. We checked coil bind, no problems.
we have another truck with 10k miles on it with stock springs, no problems.
