Just had the car tuned and dynoed on my Laguna exhaust, which is effectively a stock Nismo exhaust. I'm at 325 rwhp with this exhaust on 91 octane. Going to get retuned with the Bassani exhaust after a Laguna track day on Feb 20th. I'll post curves then, if not sooner!

The S1 cams aren't really aggressive enouh to justify it for me personally. I might pick up the s2 cams if I can find someone I would trust opeNing a vq in the las vegas area

I have thought about it, but It would be difficult to find someone willing to drive to cali and back twice... and sending the heads via mail sounds like a long term investment. I need a daily

The cams I have, at least what the seller told me are 280 duration and 11.5 lift with supertech valve springs, but I haven't seen the paperwork nor the heads yet. Ill be home in a few weeks and pick them up in about a month.

JWT Is still working on the C2 cams at this time, there where some designs that did not measure out to what they where looking for so it has gone through a few renditions. We are very close to having this whole thing completed hopefully. The C1s are still going strong though in all of the cars we have sold to/installed.

Have you installed them on any cars that already have CAI, headers and exhaust? Interested to see what gains they got on top of those mods.

While we're on the cam subject in this thread there's something I've always been curious about. Do you guys think we could make some decent NA power with cams headers exhaust and a stroker kit/built engine and 11:1 compression ? I'm aware of 1SlowZs build I've read the entire thread twice. If I'm not mistaken he had just a built bottom end in terms of engine work. Is the dry sump and high rpm really the only solution to making more power NA? I know this isn't an LS engine and the VVEL limits us significantly, but why hasn't this been attempted before?

Just curious if you guys who are more mechanically inclined could answer this. I don't think it's been done before considering the cost would be similar if not more versus going TT

Why this hasn't been attempted, because the money it takes to get decent horsepower cost just as much as buying a TT kit and upgraded fuel system. You answered your own question.

I will be running my 4.5 stroker N/A with full bolt on's
the Block is at Darton now being sleeved now.
The heads are done and my Jun cams should be installed in them, stage 3 GTM
Stillen headers, test pipes, stillen intake, stillen exhaust, 4.08 gears with a stage 4 GTM 7 AT.
11.1 comp, 3200 rpm stall torque converter
will dyno with the M370 intake and the factory intake as well.

Its taken a long time it should make around 385 to 390 RWHP N/A, the 3.7 with the same mod's less heads makes 304 to 309 rwhp. base line was 264
I have the GTM stage 2 SC going on after the 1/4 mile runs.
it should run 11.87 N/A, 10.92 with the SC
it should be on the road late summer
Its not being built by Gamma, but by the company who designed the stroker for GTM.
