the came mentioned in your list would work well with what you have since youre set on the 5.3 heads ;) i ran a simular setup ;) but with a 224 cam and it made just over 400 rwhp only difference i was on a lq9. so youre cr should be right in the ball park of 11.1 maybe
Clint, go big or go home. Plenty of people drive theirs daily with bigger cams than that.
holy dead thread batman
dead hell~! it lives!
if i go to big on the cam, i'll need valve reliefs in my pistons, and i dont care to go through all that
I run a TSP 224R an milled 5.3 heads on a stock bottom end LS1 an had no piston to valve problems, 11.1 cr. Nice choppy idle with the 112 LSA and plenty of power for a jeep LJ
Dink runs a 232/234 in an LQ4 with 243 heads and has no problems.
i am getting ready to do a LQ9 swap in to my 97 gmc and i was wondering what type of cam and heads should i run i am looking to gain about 500 horse if possible but i want to do it on a budget but still make some great power... i think the LQ9 has domed toped pistons.... see my brother just put his motor back in his gto and its a ls1 with set of ported and polished heads and a cam matched to the heads i think it has a 600 duration cam with 112 cam lobe seperation and has the ls7 lifters and push rods and valve springs with the ls1 rocker arms. i new to the ls motors... i am use to the L31 vortech motors which is what i have in the truck for now untill i can get everything together to get the truck done....
