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.

dude how many years has your car been under construction for ?

SS_Firehawk · 02-07-2017, 12:36 PM

Have to admire Zeliminator's persistence. He gets trolled and keeps going; albeit slooooowly.

I can't wait to see the build. You dont think you will break 400whp?

Z eliminator · 02-07-2017, 03:44 PM

Its been 3 years that GTM had the motor.
And Gamma promised that they would take car of it (hung me out to dry ) they did nothing.
Great customer service !!!!!!!!!!!!!
the shop who is doing the work are great people, they are very busy and are doing me a great favor by helping me, or I would be out 26000.00 US dollars.
I will post dynos
The Dyno that I use is a dyno jet. its a heart breaker, it reads low and I post my #s in SAE.
I estimate that my 3.7 made around 340 RWHP to run 12.32 and to trap at 114.14
according to the drag racing calculators
the 4.5 should make round 410 to 420 according to Sam at GTM

any way lets get back to the Wolf Cams

I can not wait to see how they work.

James10694 · 02-07-2017, 10:32 PM

The heartache and misfortune eliminator had to go thru must've been unbearable. Good luck to you man. You are the only Z I know of running a cammed built engine NA.

Hopefully these new stage 2 cams unlock some more power when they come out

brucelidat · 02-22-2017, 11:42 PM

Did we ever get a dyno of a before and after where the before had all the common mods most of us already have??

brucelidat · 04-13-2017, 07:53 PM

Has anyone installed these on a TT'ed Z yet?
