This link helps a bit. I live in Virginia and it has helped me find E85 around here.

L&M Intake Cams: Dyno results

Wow awesome build sir and thank you for your brave, honorable service. Really sweet car!! Are these intake only cams better than comp stage 3 cams?
For the record these ARE custom grind comp camshafts, but I would say they are compareable to the stage 3s based on my numbers. The stage 3s are too aggressive and valve float can scan up on datalogs
Im not promising the dyno graphs people, its been five days with no response. You can take my word that these cams are worth the install. Youre missing out if you do not have them.
Haha! They seemed pretty type A so id hate to be in a pissing match.
Uh oh! Message me with details?Well, TMS has been having a pissing fest argument with a customer of theirs over a supra. So, they might be a little busy
I will second this.
As I posted in the other thread, I picked up 17rwhp/20rwtq with just the cams. But the real gain is the increased power band. In my case the power comes on strong around 4500 and stays there till 7800+. I was told I didn't need to upgrade the valve springs so I didn't. But if I were to do it over again I would just for the comfort value. A set of Boss Springs would have been my choice. Billet oil gears are a must, and I tossed in some boss timing chain tensioners just because. These cams coupled with a 4C and a cobra jet intake really wakes these coyotes up.
Keep in mind you will need to consider putting the power to the ground, so tires and some rear suspension work will be in order as well.

Dude I cant hold traction even with 3.31 gears right now while WOT. I think I may wear out my winter tires and buy some Nittos this spring.
Also, I had an incident with bad E85, again. I loaded up a full tank, and the AFR would not budge down from 11.0 on the track ap. The cylinder head temps also did not budge. It must have been pulling timing because I lost a shitload of power, but everything went back to normal after running it out and filling up with 92 again.
I am guessing the quality was sub E70. I do not know how the flexfuel fully reacts yet, and I probably wont run E85 again until I move back home to Minnesota this summer because this is the 3rd time I have received shit E85.

Man I really want to buy these cams, but the price keeps going up. I might buy something else.
Mike and I talked for a long while when I was purchasing these, and he does not make much of a profit off of them. He contracts out to have these produced, once for the camshaft cores and again for the actual grinding by Comp. It is also the "slow" season for performance shops, and that may play into the pricing strategy as well.
That is a good deal. I have seen 2000+ for install with OPGs
You should do them yourself, they aren't that bad. I can send you the service manual if you want to do them.
good that's awesome! hopefully you can get some better number documentation than I did. I gave up on my dyno sheets I do not think they will be sending them to me.
Unfortunately mine won't be a direct comparison, since they are going in my new motor. which will have a bump in compression and ported cylinder heads. I'm hoping to crack 530-550 rwhp on motor, hopefully that is not too ambitious, but the little 5.0 did make 466 rwhp on 91 oct with baby CJ cams.
you should be there. Congrats on the awesome engine setup.
Oldbones, How much compression are you going with, if you don't mind me asking? I'm on e85 and was just thinking, What if?? THANKS!
