That should help 60' time as you'll be able to add power under 3000 rpm which is where you need help to get the 60' down.

After doing the intake I took it to two other dyno days. 501 rwhp and then a couple months later dynoed 496 rwhp. I can tell you after the intake I could pull my friend's Z06 much easier. Putting 2 cars on him after he would jump one length (7.0L low end torque).

I'm not saying that the intake is crap... but at that power level it most certainly became a bottleneck.

Street manners on the spin cam, 230/234 114, were very good. It wasn't perfect, but you could cruise around at low rpms just fine. Little slipping of the clutch during low speed kept it all smooth. I liked it. Didn't seem to lose anything in the low end, at least not above 2k rpms.

This new one for my automatic is smaller. Less intake duration, less lift. It drives perfect. Idles fine at 650 rpms. Made power everywhere. Sounds just as nasty as the old cam. Still doing the same 60' as pre cam... so thats good. I'll be making a new build thread once I get some more stuff done on it.

Great results, & thanks for sharing! Would you happen to have a YouTube vid for everyone to hear the cam?

Thanks!

Not the best

Slightly better with a modded stock exhaust.

Thanks, & sounds great! I'm a little confused. Is this the Spinmonster cam in the C6 owned by AndrewZPSU?

Yep, don't have the car anymore, don't make it around here anymore but for some reason I got the update to this thread. LMK if you need anything else.

Thanks. Were you using the same Spinmonster profile cam as what Andrew used?
