It’s cam testing time! I’ve been in the dyno cell with Richard on several occasions where all we were doing was testing camshafts, and I can tell you that when you get in the groove it’s possible to test an absurd number of camshafts in a day. With that said, there is a lot of testing that is done not in search of the ultimate power number, but rather to make real comparisons between cam profiles and how they affect the power curve. It’s fun for sure and will teach you a lot about an engine and how it makes power. Check out the video below to see how different profiles perform in a 6.0 liter LS.
Video Description:
HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT 6.0L LS CAM. WHAT LS TRUCK CAM WORKS BEST? HOW TO MAKE MORE LS POWER. WHICH LS CAM ADDS TORQUE? HOW WELL DOES THE SLOPPY STAGE 2 CAM WORK? WHICH IS BETTER, THE STOCK LS3 CAM OR BTR TRUCK CAMS? CHECK OUT THIS 6.0L CAM SHOOTOUT COMPARING SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR CAMS OUT THERE. THIS TEST SPANS THE LIMIT OF 6.0L CAMS THAT FIT THE STOCK PISTON-TO-VALVE CLEARANCE. I COMPARED THE STOCK 6.0L (LQ9) CAM TO THREE (EARLY V1) TRUCK CAMS (STANGE 1-3) FROM BRIAN TOOLEY RACING. i THEN COMPARED THE TRUCK CAMS TO THE FACTORTY LS3 CAM (VERY SIMILAR SPECS TO THE STAGE 1 TRK CAM). THE I COMPARED THE TRUCK CAMS TO THE POPULAR SLOPPY STAGE 2 CAM AND ILLUSTRATED WHY I WANT TO TEST THE NEW BTR TRUCK NORRIS CAM SO BADLY.
