Who Has The Biggest Cam In A Ls1 Or 6.0

who has it and whats the specs? 5.7 AND 6.0'S ONLY!!! I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR 408 THATS TECHNICALLY A 6.0 BLOCK

im planning on doing a little experiment here soon. my new transmission is on the way and im planning to have my converter restalled from 3600 to 4000 rpm.

i plan to take my truck to the track with that setup and make 3 passes.

over the next week im guna pull my 226/226 .584/.584 112+4 XER cam and install a 237/242 .603/.609 112+1 XER and have charlie wheatley tune her up guna take it out and make another 3 passes and compare the differences and post them up.

if i like the cam im guna pull it out and install a MS4 which is better suited for my heads (239/242, .649"/.609 111 LSA). i will make those damn 11's on motor

I'd like to see the dyno results. The larger cams on stock LS1's seem to lose peak torque and unless you can crank the RPM's up you can over cam the stock LS1. I'd like to see my cam specs on a 112 LSA. I heard it can make 450 HP plus over 6000 RPM and it's not the biggest cam on the block. Actually these are the cam specs I'm talking about: 228/230 .571/.573 112lsa. BTW, what RPM's are you pushing with a monster cam like that?

i have no clue what the valley thread is but so far im running better times than all of these monster cam trucks i hear about in an extended cab...not to say that theres not more left in it with a cam but i plan to find out.

this actually stems from a buddy of mine having a spare ms3 cam laying around and he said i can borrow it and test it out if i want. sounds like fun to me:)

okay i run a 233/238 .600/.608 112lsa and it makes good power..better on the bottle in my 6.0

have a buddy that put a 242/248 .6xx/.6xx 110lsa....its basically the t-rex cam and he put down 440rwhp in a 6.0 with some good 243 heads, now that thing made some great power...dyno kept making and he stopped at 7k rpm...peak was at like 6400 and this is with the stock truck intake...he admitted the cam is not to big but the motor is to small for the cam lol, but he was saying when it shifted it would fall on its face for a sec till it hit 5k rpm then it would pull again

good thing when my truck shifts it stays above 5k:) should stay even higher with the new converter.

it's a 242/248 on a 110. around 620-630 lift i think. damn thing screams above 5.5k, but with the low shift extension with the tt3000 it falls off a lil then picks back up again.

Just a thought...what are you gunna do with your current cam Stew???????

well the 237/242 is a loaner to test out the effect of a bigger cam. if i decide i like a bigger cam and buy a MS4 charlie wheatley will be the next proud owner of my 226 cam. i have a feeling the 226 will be going back in though.

Damn...it was worth the try. I hope all goes well with your experiment.
