I have an opportunity to purchase a cam from one of our members.
Here are the specs. Look 'em over and let me know what you think.

Maybe some of the camshaft gurus will stop by and give some insight.

With that I would hope your doing the DOD delete with this right

Looks like a nice mild cam that will have just a slightly noticible lobe to it.

i think it needs a little more split (about 2-4 more degrees) and would prefer it to be on a 114 instead of the 112... but you could use a lot worse of a cam then that...

I plan to do the work after I put the G8 away. I was hoping for a little more feedback.
It will be a DOD delete, since that's not a DOD cam.
It was spec'ed for a LS1 GTO.

I would send a PM to Pat G and ask him, Ray. He should be able to tell you if the cam's L92 head friendly or not. I've read about them a lot, and they're a great head, but finnicky when it comes to cams that perform well.

The cam is a little small on the exhaust side, but should keep the lope to a minimum. No converter necessary which is always a plus. A different lsa would smooth it out and broaden the torque curve...

Here is a dyno sheet from a guy on LS1GTO.com running the camshaft ( with a 111* LSA) on a 5.7L LS1 with AFR 205's; a FAST 90 Intake; and a Nick Williams 90 mm TB and Kooks headers. Dyno temp was 102*.

Torque curve looks good. The 5.7L GTO guys were in the 12.2-12.4 1/4 times area with these cams. I haven't found a 6.0 dyno graph yet. The few extra cubes from the 6.0 and much better flowing L76 heads should work well.

Idle video of the above dynoed car with the 111*LSA. The 112*LSA should be a little less "choppy"
