BRIAN TOOLEY RACING STAGE 4 CAM REVIEW 

hell yeah man! My brother just got a ws6 and im trying to convince him to join the btr side lol. Looking back I think the stage 2 would have fit my application better but at the end of the day I love my stage 4

Thanks man!! Appreciate the support

I was too lol. Figured fuck it why not make a video on it. Any other questions about the cam just let me know

@@LukeWaters thanks man ✊🏻

its a lot of fun!

RIGHT! lol

I would head straight to the EMERGENCY ROOM if I was you ..

What's the specs of the v2 cam?

I went with 7.450s i believe on the stage for, and as for the stage 3 anything btr is great in my book!

hmmmm, honestly no idea lol im not too familiar with manual transmissions but I would assume it would be a chore to get it to roll off the line

btr stage 2 ftw

Yes, you need a non DOD delete cam, if you want a lot of performance id suggest getting valve springs, push rods, and a btr cam. If youre going budget on stock driveability, get an ls3 cam out of a camaro

I would absolutely do the trunion upgrade for the rockers and springs are 100% required for this cam. Btr .660 springs is what most cammed guys use for ls powered cars

All of those will help complement the setup as well, obviously an intake manifold would do wonders for that cam. BTR cams need to breathe to make good power, so any way to help get the air in is key. For the stall, I would get a 3800 triple disk 258mm stall, I have the 3200 in mine and I wish down low it had more power

Stupid question but what kind of intake manifold would be better suited for the setup?

@@gregoryrobinson1004 I personally like the blue line performance rod modded intake, but the BTR equalizer has been proven to add great results with any camshaft

I believe these cars have a 2.73 rearend gearing with the mods you just mentioned l think a 3.42 gear would make it launch harder because this guy said he has a 3200rpm stall converter and it bogs off the line with that 3200 stall the engine should be making decent torque which makes me believe a 3.42 gear would be better and still be able to do 90mph on the highway all day this gear will keep you more in the engines sweet spot when shifting not dropping out of the engines power band and less rpm drop when shifting puting less load on the engine yes by doing this gas mileage will drop but with traction it's probably worth .5 of a second or maybe a little more in the quarter mile these cars with driver are 4000 + pounds heavier cars with a performance cam need and like more gear even a stock LS 6.0 will respond very well to more rear gearing more so than the old style chevy smallblock does because peak torque is 4500rpm to 5000rpm on a chevy LS engine and 3200rpm to 4400rpm on most old style chevy smallblocks unless it has all forged internals and a big camshaft can you move the peak torque numbers above 4500rpm upside is the old style smallblock makes better torque below 3000rpm especially if its a 383 or 406 but in the upper rpm range above 4000rpm and up the LS will stomp most old style chevy smallblocks

If you buy a cam that’s too aggressive, there’s nothing even the best tuner can do to make it drive smooth. Spec your cam appropriately people!

That's 100% false lol. Drivabality has everything to do with the tuning. I daily a btr4 with a lightweight aluminum flywheel and aluminum pressure plate with no issues.

@Lsx anarchy so it rides good as a daily driver?

Im not sure, that would be a question to ask btr themselves

The cam pulls more ir through the engine, and headers help with the flow of air coming out of the engine making the aftermarket cam more efficient

Stage 4 na cam

The lq9 is still a 6 litre, send it!!

@@LukeWaters gotcha👍. Just didn't know if there was any difference. Thanks for the reply back.

@@Lightning7474. anytime! The biggest difference i believe is the compression from plat top pistons to done tops, my block had flat and I believe truck pistons are domed

I think they are pretty close tbh

not very good tbh, id recommend a stage 2, the stage 4 is pretty aggressive

​@@LukeWaters why??

I think I got ot off Amazon, it was a universal one for like 30 bucks

Oh hell yeah! That truck is gonna party lol

@@LukeWaters I just hope it sounds like the intro in "Hot For A Teacher" 🤣

Lol ill trade you 1 for 1 to balance things out

@@LukeWaters works for me. Lol

in the intro about 5 seconds in is one of my exhaust clips lol. I just realized I forgot to add another one mid video! I think I have an exhaust clip unpublished I can send you if you want

@@LukeWaters that’d be great if you could. I’ve got that cam in my LS1 plus everything else BTR to support it. You know how it is though, you hear one sound clip but want more! Lol.

@@Wrensspeedshop lol exactly! I actually have one public ill link it here once I get back to my computer

@@Wrensspeedshop ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bOlBr5x-Ohw.html

Right on brother!! the stage 4 hits haaard lol

better see come clips of it!

Yes I did, you have to set the misfire count on the tune higher

@@LukeWaters thanks!!!!

Not necessary. But I HIGHLY recommend it, these cams need to breathe

Would a tbss intake swap work good?

@@EliteBullys23 it will help your torque, but lower overall horsepower due to the longer runners. I got my modified ls3 intake from blulineperformance and I have nothing but good things to say about it

I dont got square ports idk what intake to use for a budget

@@EliteBullys23 ooofff, id think either a Holley or fast is your best bet

Still have yet to dyno the car, its on my to do list lol

@@LukeWaters will the cam also work for the 4.8LS

I like the statement, but the reason?

did you ever dyno the stage 3? What kind of power does it make?

in the beginning into its the exhaust

nope, only thing in the heads I changed was the springs

Not yet, but my butt dyno would say it made around d 420whp

that things gonna be wicked! lol

@@LukeWaters that part 〽️〽️〽️😁😁😁

@@lilstar4817 got an idle clip of it?

@@LukeWaters I'm still working on it I will definitely 😁⚡👑📀💿 put the vids up soon as errthang finished lol

agreed 100%, if I could go back I would have got the stage 2

correct, but it made a big difference in air flow, the stage 4 needs a lot more air flow

@@LukeWaters if you have ls3 heads it dont

@@Ls3guy yeah, I mean I gained a shit ton of power and torque all across the band with a manifold

@@LukeWaters on a dyno it dont show any gain

@@Ls3guy look up the rcr rodmod intake, or the blp rod mod intake

Ssshhhh don't tell Doug :)

It helps out a lot

right lol! My other v6 in the reegal gets 33mpg. I am on the fence on getting a v6 g8 daily tho
