well im building an lsvtec to daily drive and i pulled my ctr cams out of my turbo motor(84.5x89mm lsvtec) to put in that engine. i just picked up a set of tuner1's to replace the ctr's. i know they arent that much bigger, but for the same price as ctr's i figured id give it a try and that it would be pointless to have 2 sets of the same cams.


for you guys and gals that are using the tuner1's how do you like them? any positives or negatives you noticed i should be aware of?

Username 1158 is using them. I will also be testing them on the TR3030R turbo setup. So far, very good results. I'd also like to try some of the ALL M0T0R camshafts as well.

Here's 1158's setup (I hope he doesn't mind)

I'm looking for input too. I haven't been able which cams I want to run for the boosted LSV I'm building.

i ran them a while ago, i liked them. good idle made good power etc. i switched them out for pro1s. for smaller turbos there beast, if you have a larger snail go pro lol.

Tuner 1's are a nice improvement over Ctr itr cams. I want to upgrade to those or tuner2's

Currently have some in my brother's newly built LSVTEC turbo set-up using an old-school Drag Gen.III turbo kit. Will post results come Friday when his car gets tuned.

What cams do you recommend for a forged internal/built head LSV with your Silver Surfer or the Reaper too?

Doing Tuner 2s would be equivalent to going Pro1s with a slightly different primary, just like in the ALL MOTOR world. Like the Pro1s, you would benefit this best with turbochargers over 61lbs/min or larger. Otherwise, going Tuner 1 isn't just an improvement in peak power over the CTRs, but it makes the Powerband a lot more linear for torque. that's why they are starting to become a bit more popular.

Because of the fact so many people here are "go big or go home" in their thinking, they tend to believe that "wasting money" on less aggressive camshafts for smaller turbos outside of CTRs is not a good investment of their engine.

We may have discussed this at one time before. I think its best to look at which turbo you decided first before going into the whole CAM issue..

^^ pretty sure I'm going with your reaper.

I'm sure he will be around. The reaper flows well enough for pro1's

Mac I would be running your reaper if I choose to go with tuner2's but I know the tuber1's make an all around difference in power an would work well with my current setup and alo if I went with the tuner2's

im using a t3 60-1 with an equal length bottom mount. on pump gas the motor will make about 450, looking for 500ish on c12. pretty much going to be within 25-50 hp as last year, just hoping to do it more efficiently on a little less boost. my injector size and turbine housing will likely limit me but im ok with that. should be enough hp to make a 10 sec pass which is my ultimate goal. i do drive the car a good amount (200-300 miles a week during the non snow months), so really going for a nice powerband

Made 640hp using those tuner 1s on a gsr
