how is this set up on my trans am 2001 ws6 with 80k miles ,daily driver (6 to 8 miles everyday), and i don't do drag.Precision Race Components 5.3L Stage 2.5 Cylinder Heads Fully CNC Ported & Assembled With 2.04" Intake Valves, 1.575" Exhaust Valves, & PRC Platiunum Springs,TSP Hardened Pushrods ,TSP Torquer Revision 2 232/234 .595/.598 112+2 Camshaft ,TSP Ported LS6 Oil Pump,Rollmaster Double-Roller Adjustable Timing Set,LS1 ASP Racing 25% Underdrive Crank/Alternator Pulleys.

how much hp can i get plus whatever i have in my sig?
will this setup gonna mess up my rear end even though i don't do drag?
and wth is flycut ?

thank you

don't know about the power exactly but it should be pretty sick, and as long as your not smashing through the gears you "shouldn't" hurt your rear... but it will be a real shame to see a car with that kinda engine never see the strip even once...

You will see 410-430 at the rear wheels with a good tune. That is a pretty big cam for a street-driven car with no interest in going to the track. While it is true that cam can be "tuned" to be driven on the street I would suggest something in the 224-226 duration for your cam. You will only have problems with the rear end if you launch the car on sticky tires (ie drag radials or E/T streets). What is your goal if not going to the track? That is a lot of stuff for an everyday "cruiser". I have read hundreds of threads on the right cam and the biggest mistake most people make is not figuring out what they want the car to be before they pick a cam.

I don't know if it's different for LT1's, but when I called combination motorsports, and told them that I use my car as a DD, and I didn't want to spin it too high, they recommended a 227/233. The cam he described above doesn't seem like it would be too extreme for the street.

[casey02ws6]

LT1s must be different. That is about as long a duration cam as you can use in an LS1. The 112 LSA will give you the rough idle that sounds so cool though

for some reason i get scare if my rearend mess up thats all.Also i hear a lot of thing about this weak 10 bolt,maybe i'm wrong.

A 232/234 cam can easily be tuned to run perfectly fine in a daily driver especially with the 2 degree ground in advance that you posted. Minimal if any cam surge, good low end power, meaty torque curve, and a stellar top end. Even a t-rex cam can be tuned to be driven in a daily driver without and adverse driveability. In fact with ported heads, anything less than a 230 intake duration would be a waste of time and money in an LS1.

Half the time when people go to get their newly h/c LS1 tuned, they get a "lazy" tune and the tuner does take the time to tune everything correctly. It just takes a tuner who knows what they are doing and takes pride in his tunes.
