Brace the case!!!!!!! The reason for 90% of all LSJ/LNF trans failures is the case twisting under heavy torque loads even with rotated mounts. When the case twists gear failure is inevitable because the gears come out of alignment.

also Bad Ass keep up the good work
Bottom end is completely stock. The only mods on the motor itself are cams and valvesprings. On e85, and with a good IC, it would be tough to hurt the motor on the stock turbo.

One of our entrepreneurial vendors (zzp) should design a bolt up brace for this issue =)

Tig welder and some pieces of good aluminum alloy will work well. (not sure which grade is best for this application) Need to triangulate the case to make it stronger.

True i can do it at home, but it's nice when someone else does it and test it out on their own cars to See if it's properly set up.

Yes they are the stage 2s, it's really not so bad it is a bit lumpy yes but my car's idle quality is almost perfect really. I'm also not tuned for these things so that may have something to do with it. I'll make another (better) video, check rlf later on today.

I'll take your word for it then. Any thoughts on how they are performing? Powerband?

What turbo are you using?

as far as I can tell good, I checked my plugs and was a bit lean so I haven't really seen the entire power band yet, but from what I can tell they pick up real good around 2500rpm to who know what rpm. also, no turbo m62 lsj (I know wrong thread, same cams)

LOL, the cams aren't even the same. Turbo cams are different than Blower cams. OF COURSE blower cams are going to have a lumpy idle. Even stage 2s will. It's the design.

mine aren't the blower cams, they're stage 2 like I said. blower grind is different like you said, so is turbo (turbo different usually because of less lift on exhaust side for increased velocity). the S2 design was a wider LSA than stock which should actually increase idle quality... (source Technical Specs & Information)

Those are pics of when I was looking at the possibility of swapping in an L200 trans. So that's all I got for now. I'm in Germany, the cobalt is in a storage building in Nebraska. Wish I would have taken more pics now.

You aren't making any sense now.

There are 3 different stages of ZZP LSJ blower cams. And there are 3 different stages of ZZP LSJ Turbo cams.

This thread is primarily about LNF cam testing. And they haven't quite dabbled in the LE5 yet.

So what exactly do you have?

dunno it doesn't say on their site they even sell "blower" cams so I don't know why you brought that up? it does mention a supercharger in the description, but it's discrepant. on their site, the stage 2 description says nothing about superchargers, but I get your point. also, on comp cams website they say "COMP Cams® ECOTEC camshafts are available in five different configurations (3 street & strip, 1 blower, 1 turbo grind" now I'm not sure if zzp reground these but I'm betting not... so which ones do I have?

your best bet is to get with ZZP and give them the part number that you purchased and they can tell you what you got.

Hell, if they gave you any kind of documents, info, paper that came in the box with those cams, it may tell you the specs. Post up the specs if you have them and I'll tell you exactly what you got. I know what all the specs are on their cams.

any chance your going to devolop cams with lope for us big turbo guys looking to make power to over 8k rpm eventually.

Has this been tested on a ported head? I'd take my head off to port it and port match the mani to it as well if that earned me a set of cams

If you purchased stage 2 (not stage 2 turbo) then you have supercharger cams.
We custom spec our Cams from Comp.
