Do you guys do in house grinding? if not, I recommend talking to LMR ([http://latemodelracecraft.com/](http://latemodelracecraft.com/)) about a custom grind for a boosted ls3. Im sure you have your connections with someone, somewhere else tho.

Thanks for the input, Really appreciate it! I checked out Brian Tooley, he seems to have some very nice stuff! I talked to my Pal Mark@Applied last night for a while and came up with a custom grind that I think should work perfectly.

I saw the Camaro pick up another 13-14rwhp with a custom intake! Can’t wait to see (& hear) results from a custom cam

Here is the Dyno video: [http://youtu.be/Bc98svggw8I](http://youtu.be/Bc98svggw8I)
I will be posting the Graph of the Dyno test between the stock airbox and our first Aluminum intake!

Results were rather good. The stock Airbox isn’t much of a restriction until the upper end of the power band. Our custom camshaft is in the works, along with some trick modified rocker arms to handle increased spring pressures. We will be posting installation Pics along with results as we head down this road…

why new rocker arms? the stockers are more then efficient enough to handle a .660 lift. I have actually seen more aluminum aftermarket rocker arms break over stockers. Its the stockers bearings that are the weakness but that can be fixed by the “trunion bearing” upgrade.

It’s easier and prob more cost efficient to just replace the rocker as a whole, ANdrew.

Small update. Steve installed the cam and springs and had a chance to put it on the dyno the other day to begin some tuning. Car laid down 463whp and 470wtrq on 93 octane. Has a very smooth idle, stock like driving and has a good lump to it. Im very suprised how much it picked up with a small cam compared to whats out there thats larger than what we did here. Videos and charts to come.
