don't see how this channel isn't in the millions, because Richard will save u money and time on getting the engine u want. i watch listened and built a 410 LS stroker well over 500TQ and pushing 600HP, all from listening to Richard...!!!
congrats
lol, because no one works on stuff anymore. we are a dying breed, people who work on their own cars.
@@Born_Stellarwe aren't dying , we are getting crippled and broken lol...I still manage to make my hands work for at least 6hrs a day in my shop, not that I NEED the hours in but more to the point of I LOVE what I do. I remember throwing trans and rear ends around by hand, not the cherry picker lifts EVERYTHING but tires for me. I've prolly put a 100 transmissions in on my back in the ground when I was younger, now it'd literally kill me. At least I got my own shop and set my own pace now. I do the jobs I WANT to now so it's a labor of love not a job for necessity anymore
I remember when I first decided to try to go work in a shop work on cars... I was talking to my dad about it cuz of course that's what he's done all his life. And I was saying how much I love working on cars and so I'd love to do it for a job. He kindly told me that doing it for a job can we'll take the enjoyment out of it. A lot of times. I no longer turn wrenches for a job but I keep my vehicles and my kids vehicles going which turns into a lot of weekends sometimes. But I love fixing things. And it's easier to fix cars than it is people
@@ls_812 agree 💯 but unfortunately I'm stuck in my rut of sore back and arthritis ridden hands lol
For those asking... SS3 is 238/242 @ .050, .595" lift on both, 112 LSA.
I'm shocked that it fit, I think with the big intake valves on the rec port heads it would probably not fit.
Good to know! @@slicksloth_416
@slicksloth_416 how do you like it? Do it again?

Thanks for orchestrating such a comprehensive test! 👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome info from the best.
Well damn, my converter grabs at 4k, I might as well throw the SS3 back in! Thanks Richard!!
Thank you Richard. Great data!
I am so glad that you decided to do a story on these 3 cams. I just found out that the 1.5 existed. I brought the sloppy stage 2 and purchased stage one for a milder build, And never heard the stage 3 but I think I may use the 3 in my main build instead of the 2 because it sounds way more radical but Semi tamed the car is not shaking . I'm guessing the 1.5 is for individuals whom don't want to upgrade cylinder heads but they want a little bit of boost in the kubush you know. Once again teacher you've been a great help I truly appreciate you. Thank you. I would have chimed in live with you today but I have to go eat lunch 😊
I see no point to the 1.0 when the 1.5 offers virtually everything the same down low and more up top. Unless there is significant feel difference below what the dyno can measure, I'd drop it from the product line up.
I've been waiting on this one for YEARS! I have the SS3 and I love it
What's the motor ?
What engine you running?
1.5 looks like a winner for me. SUV used on streets and offroad.
We sold lots of Elgin, Wolverine, Melling and other cams ground by the big 3 "Detroit" production grinders. Their FT HYD and Mech cams are mostly obsolete however the roller cams can't be that old. I'd check the timing for ANY cam, at least check the springs and do new valve stem seals. Many hot rod cam grinders rebox these cams. The seat durations are given in SAE which is .006 at the valve or .004 with a 1.5 rocker so the durations look a little long compared to say Comp cams which gives durations at .006 at the lifter. These cams are designed to be user installed and trouble, they do not "Push" the lifter side loading, i.e.not a winner for heads up racing but great for brackets. Their FT cams may not be the latest masters but still wear well.
Bro u got a new sub and like. 👍 You got right to the point, it's nice to see du ở back to back comparison of these different cam stages.
welcome
Yes to chassis dyno in the background that was a nice treat 😂
I was previously running the 1.5 but did not know that's what it was called. In my .020" over 6.0L with factory injectors, 799 heads, and gen 3 intake like Richard was running in this video, it was pretty calm.. Then I swapped to the TBSS intake, and 36 lb./hr. injectors along with the SS2, and a home ported set of 706's and it feels like it gained 100HP. It went from a truck that would barely spin the 315's from a dead stop, to a tire frying machine... Literally if I'm rolling along at 30 mph and stomp it, it will kick down to 1st (4L80E) and demolish the tires... pure smoke show... This combo that I have now is what I would call a starting point on all of my future builds. The 1.5 cam was very easy to tune, had just enough lope at idle that it was noticeable, and got decent gas mileage, but the combo in my opinion left a lot on the table. The new set up is night and day power production compared to the old. Oh, also forgot-Nick Williams 92MM throttle body with the new intake. LOTS of parts changed, but the reward was worth it. I got LEGIT Elgin cams-nothing from Sham-a-zon, or Fleece-Bay.. Those china knock off cams are GARBAGE.. several people have tested them and they rarely match the specs they are sold under, and one guy posted results showing the ground the lobes backwards.. STAY AWAY FROM CHINA CAMS and anything else that is internal engine. If you buy trash, it might destroy your engine... Not worth the risk.
Solid info thanks
what website did you get the cam from?
@@diem8093 My local machinist ordered it for me. I have no idea where he got it. It came in a legit ELGIN box, with the correct part #. Check with your local performance machine shop.. they can get the real ones.
I also have a 6.0 gen 4 and I would like to know would which max cam can I use with stock pistons. (Daily use RCSB)
Great test 👌
This is awesome data! Your edits are great!
Glad it was helpful!
@@richardholdener1727 Can you explain how advancing and retarding would change their useable powerband RPM ranges please? Thanks in advance…
You're the man Richard!
I have done my research over and over, I'm finally about to run a stage one in a LQ4 chevelle with mild boost with a 6 speed(3:55 gears).
The stage 2 is to much loss for a manual low compression car, the 1.5 would be great I'm sure, but the pac 1218 springs would be close to there limit. I can't wait for this build to go down !
🤔 I wonder how much of a difference a "performance" intake manifold would make to the stage3, I wouldn't expect much maybe tidy up the lower rpm.. great test👍
Great comparison!
thnx
Boooo we ( and when I say we it probably just means me) the best cam too! Thanks for the comparison video sir. Didn’t realize there was a 1.5
When you went thru 1 thru 3 I was like man to bad he didn't get the 1.5 but then BAM
Fyi ur doing sloppy central PROUD!!!!! Thank you for ur service lol
I've had my eye on the 1.5 for a while now. It will go in a 6.0 LQ4 with 862/706 heads. It should make for a fun street engine in a heavy truck!
Nice! I’m doing the same with the new Sloppy Best Cam in a Jeep XJ on 37s.
I've done that exact combo it works really well and you can even run it on stock converter. With good tuning this cam will idle great at 650 and have enough vacuum for anything ya need.
@@MrPhukyew Any idea what your power numbers were? I've been guessing it would make around 460/460.
im running ss2 in 2500hd 706 heads headers great truck motor. tow and play.pull 30 ft camper with lop and no converter its great
@@Ninelinegarage at the wheels it would probably be closer to the low 400s or high 300s depending on many other factors.
Hey Richard another great and informative video for the Chevy guys lol. I’m a Mopar guy but I still enjoy all of your videos. I going to swap a factory 6.4 hemi non mds cam into my 2010 5.7 hemi. It would be nice to see a comparison of the 5.7 and the 6.4 cams. I chose to go this way because I’ve read that it requires no tuning, and the VVT works with both cams.
Well the factory engines have a narrow band o2 sensor when defaulting over to speed density (full throttle) and a very small range of possible air fuel adjustment. From looking at my copy of hp tuners for those engines the max range of fuel adder based on O2 sensors is about half a point of air fuel ratio. So you can reverse engineer that if the other camshaft "needs no tuning" the power gains are very, very small or it would create a lean detonation condition.
6.4 is awesome coming from cheby guy
Finally the SS3! Now do the TN on a LY6 (make sure it has rec port heads)!
I love your ear protection... 😂
Hey, Richard. Love your videos! Just wanted to mention the audio on this one was a bit rough. I really couldn't hear the engines idling or running, and then you're talking in between sessions was sometimes loud. Only meant as constructive feedback. I wanted to hear those cams!
AGREED, it slightly irritated me as well
Love to hear the idol x 3
Put a ss3 in my 56 Chevy truck, all the chop, kinda soggy down low but turned on .
Thank you
I would love to see the Truck Norris vs. Torquer V4!
with a 230/230 do I still generate enough vacuum? I am concerned of the extra costs of getting a big cam like a e-break booster or something. Thanks for your help!
That motor is becoming legendary. Bit more work and your into 100bhp/Ltr.
What else would you do, set or higher ratio rockers?.
That was a lot of work in a short amount of time. Had to catch up with the previous upload, at least you managed to stay awake🙂👍
please see the 542-hp 5.3l vids
@@richardholdener1727 I'm now left wondering if the BTR cam that gave 542bhp in the other video, had too much exhaust timing relative to the inlet, it doesn't follow what you'd expect as shown by this Sloppy cam test.
Perfect test for that 8-1exhaust though 😆👍
5-7 horsepower or lbs ft torque aren't going to be noticable on the butt dyno. Heads or power adders will. I wouldn't get too caught up in chasing minimal hp gains. Find the appropriate cam for your application and rpm range then build around that.
Curious how long it takes you to do a cam swap on the dyno mule ?
Re: Yesterdays video I was actually replying to a comment when you took it down, but somebody was asking about the 8711R1 in the 5.3 with the Katech heads. I bet you could get really close to 500 with that with the TBSS on top. Like ti see how it would compare to this and similar 500ishhp combos. Speaking of lower lift and valvetrain stability, I'd be curious to see how the Summit Stage 3 8708R1 faired in comparison.
I couldn't hear the choppy idle. I would like to see torque cams tested. Find the best usable street cams for a big block.
Good morning 🐱
Richard can you do stage3 on 6.3 LS3 compare ss2 thanks 💪
2:55 caught me off guard brah. Shot Dr Pepper out of my nose 😆
Would it be possible to get some idle vacuum numbers for cam reviews. I still like my power brakes.
Get a vaccum pump and canister
Hi Richard I love your work! Have you tired the even cheaper EBay cam runs around $80 for a stage2 cam or should I go with the Elgin instead. Just feel like it’s made by the same Chinese factory?
Elgin is not China
Thankyou!
You're welcome!
I run the SS3 on a 6.0 with twin vsracing 67/62’s , it’s got ALL the chop at idle!! Hot idle, cold idle, no timing, all the timing, it’s full time CHOP
Any time you get over 230 on the intake it is pretty hard to tame the idle no matter what you do. Not that you would want to, but if you did...
@@cmovezz3192 for N/A, blower or nitrous stage 3 is great, but for turbo it’s not a good choice. Picked up summit stage 2 turbo cam I’ll be installing in the next week or two
@@cmovezz3192 just using the pac 1219’s I have, summit said the pac 1218’s or 19’s are fine with that cam and the ones I have maybe 1000 miles on them
I would have liked to hear each cam at an idle for a few moments. Some guys like me aren’t worried about every point of HP or torque. Idle sound!
Are you after smooth idle or lope?
there is idle in the clips
So how did these cams compare to say big name cams.
Texas speed or BTR cams for example. Do they make comparable HP or is it worth buying a better brand name cam.
Good stuff as always
Thanks Richard
you buy cam specs-not names
@@richardholdener1727
Ya im not really good with specs so ur saying long as the specs r around the same or the same then should be good right. My mind has never been good with numbers have a really hard time remembering numbers. One thing thats always made me feel stupid. Lately a lot of things been making me feel stupid 😂
So long as specs r same as the name brand should be as good then.
Thanks Richard.
Ive ran the 2 and 3, loved both of em will do it again.
I bought the $80 ebay versions though 😂😂😂
How many miles did you put on them any issues?
Any update on them?
You have AMAZING dentures dude!
Where did you get them?
I need to get my 88 year old dad there because your dentures are GREAT! 👍
ALL ORIGINAL
Trying to figure my set up out. I have Lq4 with 317 heads thinking about a ss2. Trying to at least get to 450rwhp but wouldn’t mind more
that combo won't get you to 450 whp
Texas speed has this stage 3 cam as their MS3 cam.
Totally unrelated but a serious thought: If you had twin turbos, not compound, 1 small to spool quickly & 1 large to make big top end power, how would that work?
sequential turbos-works well
Im curious what a junkyard motor completely stock minus springs and ss2 and ss3 cam power numbers
Im curious on what max cam could be used with stock pistons on a gen 4 6.0
SS3 in my boat. Only need power from 4500+ and running beehives was needed for marine duty. PTV was close. Can’t imagine with 30 thousands taken off the head!
Did u end up with the stage 3 ? How do u like it?
What’s the setup?
What would be the best cam for a lifted truck and for hauling and towing?
A small one
L33 w/ SS3 and M1 please!!!
How much fuel do you push through those 80# injectors? Jw if your going all out with the fuel or if the air is limiting the hp
plenty of fuel left-we also tested e85
Would have been nice to see "sloppys best cam" along with the others..mainly since that's what Im running, currently, I also have an SS2 on the shelf..
How would anyone know what the best cam is without knowing the exact specs and usage of your build? That's a very specific thing.
Sloppy Best cam is a new cam offered by Matt Sloppy
This is exactly what I was thinking; where the Sloppy “Best Cam”.
Richard you tested the Sloppy “Best Cam” a year ago against the Truck Norris. Are you saying there’s another Sloppy “Best Cam” out there :confused?
Yes the sloppy best cam is its own cam. Really close to the 1.5 just a fuzz tighter LSA
How are people’s experience with the Amazon sloppy stage 2 cam and lifter kits ? I hear so much about the experience about the cams but never the lifters that you can get with any of the many cam kits available or any other components that come with them . Would really love to know because I have a 5.3 that I’m trying to decide how I’ll build wether it’s all ls7 lifters and a btr or call it a day at a 500 dollar sloppy stage 2 kit with everything
don't buy cheap lifters
Anyone run the Stage 1 216/220? Looking for recommendations on torque converter.
How would a l92 react to a ss3 cam? do you think it would be a good fit? Also being a bigger cid engine do you think cam timing could help any power loss lower in the rpm’s?
the SS3 cam will work on a 6.2L. It will lose power down low-but it has more to start with on a bigger motor.
@@richardholdener1727 thank u for the reply do you think that cam timing could correct any of that or would I run into piston valve clearance issues? I’m only suggesting 4 or so degrees
What's up, i have a question for my daily ride 5.3
Working on the heads replacing some lifters i realized that i also have to replace this cam and for the price looks like a real good deal but as is for my daily ride i'm wondering if i'm passing smog check using any of this cams ?
no idea on legal cams
Richard, have you ever tested if an exhaust with lots of curves and turns affects power vs one that doesn't?
Over at Enginemasters they dented the hell out of a set of headers before they could measure a meaningful difference..
@@johnparrish9215 I saw that, but in theory velocity of air gets reduced when it has to make turns. I wanted to know If the exhaust has a bunch of sharp curves to get around suspension/gas tank if it would make a difference to flow.
don't worry about the flow change, just build the exhaust
@@johnparrish9215 strange how that happens, but the dyno shows it to be true. I used to own a car that started life as a 4 / 6 cylinder (same body) and I dropped a SBC in it. The only way to get extractors on it was to weave them between the lower control arms. So they weren't ideal pipes. One of the pipes got a significant flat (maybe 50%) of the pipe diameter hitting the ground over bumps at speed, but it never seemed to make any difference to the power. Looking at it you would have thought otherwise.
what are the cam specs on the SS3 Great work
595, 238/242, 112
I'm the type of guy who puts the SS3 cam in a 5.3, for the chop. You gotta have chop. 😛
chop chop chop
@@richardholdener1727 I like the natural cam sound vs the chop. I really wanted to go with the ss3 but did the SS2, really need a stall but rolling 40 this thing lites em up when u stand in it. 7400lb monster, has 5.13s now ( going to drop 3/4 ton axles in soon, poor 10bolt rt now gets beat up) , 243s I ported and had decked, 4.8l flat top pistons, SS2 , gen 4 intake , full long tube exhaust, 4l80e.

Hey Richard, great videos!! They're very informative. Quick question, how can I increase low end torque (below 3000 rpm) on an 08 6.0L LS LY6? It's in a 3/4 truck that I tow a 7500lb trailer with. Thanks.
Truck Norris is close.....
Boost
If you follow Richard at all you'll know that you can make more torque by increasing your runner length.
Roots style supercharger
Headers and maybe a small cam with a narrow LSA. Gains below 3k will be minimal. For larger gains down low, it’s either more displacement or boost.
Honestly, let it rev. A LY6 makes its peak torque above 3k.
How would the sloppy stage 2 camshaft perform with a 5.3 l engine that has 11 to 1 compression?
same as it does with any other compression ratio. The compression just adds power to any cam
Would advancing the cam 2-4 deg bring some of the torque back down low?
Probably not enough piston to valve clearance on those bigger cams
Advance will increase low end torque. Go the other way and you lose torque, but increase high-end HP.
Do you think the ss3 would have ptv issues in a lq9 with ls3 heads?
yes
How streetable is the ss3 in a 3200 # car? 4l80 and 354 gears . Thanks
WHAT STALL?
Im midding an Ls4 GXP so considering my trans selections i chise to keep my cam moderate and went with Elgin 1839/SS1.5 and its my daily so running at or over .600 lift is hard on valvetrain so im goin tbss, 50# injectors, 1839, obd macimizer headers, ill free. Up exhaust as best i can and choose the 4t80 with appropriate final drive and 3njoy my ride. And maybe down road ill add some squeeze,,,,,,
driving down level road at about 50 MPH ....all ... you need to do this is about 20-40 Horsepower......you know this as well as i do.......
Hey I have a lq4 with dished pistons I milled the 799 heads .030 and I want to run the ss3 cam would I run into PTV issues? It has a 0.048 crush fel pro HG , correctly sitting at 10:91 compression

lots of horror stories with those
What are the power numbers for that engine with a stock cam?
less than 400
What about nitrous instead of turbo for that big stage 3 cam
not sure we see much unless M1 or M5
Texas speed repackages the SS3 as the ms3 cam. It’s good on a high compression 6.0. The 1 is a good all around cam, the 1.5 is good if your going to run a converter. Imo. I bought a SS3 because it’s $300 and in a bored 6.0 with good heads and a big of nitrous it can’t be beat imo. As long as you buy a converter.
What’s the LSA on these cams this makes a lot of difference I imagine all these cams probably have to much LSA.
too much for what? and you don't even know what the LSA is
@@richardholdener1727 That’s why I asked what the LSA was first.And also why I said imagine as in I don’t know but I’m guessing the LSA is higher then optimal for peak output.

I REALLY NEED AN ANSWER..DID YOU DEGREE THE CAMS
why do you really need an answer...but the answer is no
I think you need to build your own LS dyno mule Richard. Sort of like the Gladiator small block. You could call it the Super Ritchie Mule. 4.125 bore and 4.125 stroke to really show THA GAINZ!
Thing is most aren’t building sbe an head and or cam intake and roll out
Shame the stage 1.5 isn't on a tighter lobe seperation a 108 or 110 would make it a ripper little street cam.
Check into the Sloppy "Best"
@@hefftoneGA good looking cam only 1 degree of overlap at .050 still. A 110 would make 2 degrees a 108 would make 6 degrees.
Around 5 degrees seems to work pretty well with an LS.
I have the ss3 in a lq4 which heads should I use I have 862 5.3 heads and 823 ls3 heads
823 MAKES A LOT MORE POWER-BUT LOWERS COMPRESSION
@@richardholdener1727 yeah that’s why I’m trying to get an opinion on which to use for a street car
862 Send it! Higher compression more torque and power below 6k RPM! Hey Richard! Would you recommend those EBay/Amazon Cams there low prices are attractive but not trying to get a cheeply made cam?
Real Elgins are not dirt cheap, the video title makes it sound like you are testing the dirt cheap amazon and ebay ss2 cam china copy which many have said are lazier duration wise and a few other quirks
Quirks like POS wear out fast?
That's exactly what I was hoping to see, good info regardless but I still want to see China cam Dyno.
cheapest aftermarket cams I've found that I would be willing to run.
@@chrisdieunlimited power is made by the spec of the cam, lift, duration, seperation. a chinese cam will make the same power if it has the same specs, but its more likely to do something bad to your engine. no point in power testing.
So you don’t have to degree the cam in ls engines?
You can-I generally do not (because most don't-they just swap and go dot to dot)
Thank you sir. I just ordered a stage 2 for my l92 build and was kinda nervous.
Whats the link for the cams u used
Summit cam part numbers were provided
Would a 383 stroker Ls be able to bring the low end torque back up to compensate for the low end loss the 5.3 has with the bigger cam?
bigger will help low speed
Yep, I have a LS1 383 with a 242/244 and it lights the tires up on demand. 238/242 will have a little more torque down low and less hp up top in comparison.
No specs on the ss3 ?
595 lift, 238/242 and 112 I should have included all those
Any chance of a 400 block 327 crankshaft combo build?
It's already been done the videos are on TH-cam the name of the videos is CE performance crate engine builds from 2 years ago. He also built one with a 283 crank. Very high winding but not much power output. Especially down low.
The engine in my profile picture is a 377 it loved to rev to 7500 rpm with a 650 solid roller and fully ported brodix track 1s 227cc
Frieburger ran a 372 at one time on em
Basically a 377 mirrors any other small cube engine. More displacement more torque. 406 more torque than a 377
@@cedricwilson2055 no not necessarily true a 377 is a very large bore short stroke engine. My engine was a 4.155 bore. It made 625hp and 535 lb ft of torque. Albeit at higher rpm, but when I added the nitrous it was insane torque
a lot of power for a 4.8 L atmospheric engine
