Yes, stock pistons. I dont see what RPM would have to do with burning a hole in the piston. I shift at 6200.

Got the cam today. But ahead of it are the tranny cooler and an exhaust clamp. Maybe for Christmas I can install the cam

Sorry to hijack, but does that cam really help you get more boost?

I could really use a little more torque, but don't really wanna go smaller pulley and have high IAT's. Maybe this is the way to go. BTW, I am currently getting 4.5 PSI at best 5 PSI. Yes it is set up for towing.

Do you get more torque at lower RPM's with this cam??

Do you lose any driveability with it such as idle quality or fuel milage???

Do you usually need to re-tune????

Looking forward to seeing your results 1slowhoe, get off yer @$$ and get 'r done! Christmas can come early this year.

I think you would pick up some tq with this cam vs a stock cam but, I dont think you will see any more boost. My cam bleeds off boost because the overlap is so much. 48* I think. Where the GT2-3 has almost 0* of overlap (not sure on the exact amount). I'm not really gaining boost, I'm just not letting the boost I'm making leak out before it makes power.

I understand what you are saying, but is the cam you are running now the stock 6.0 cam?

Anyone have ideas on RWHP and RWTQ gains with just cam on these rigs?

I am running a 210/218 .551 112lsa right now. Too much overlap for a blower cam.
The GT2-3 is a good daily driver cam, good street manners
You will make a little more tq down low with it
I've seen number from 25-45 rwhp with just this cam.
This cam was designed by LPE (Lingenfelter Performance Engineering) for the Radix S/C.
Youre doing pretty good in the Tq department already, do you really need more for towing? Or is this for when you dont have a trailer hooked up?

Towing. I lost some RWTQ and HP when I had to go back to stock cooling fans from e-fans. It is very noticable. There is no way it will pull e-fans, period.

Of course generally more HP and TQ is always nice.
