..another cam thread. I already have this one, wondering if it's worth spraying on

[Frenchy]

You know what your truck needs? Four Oh Eight. There are "nitrous cams" and there specs look a lot like cam that work good with FI. Which is usually more exhaust duration than intake and a wide LSA. Like yours. But yeah, I'm all for you getting one custom spec'd too

Price was right on this cam...wasn't the one I had wanted originally, but was spec'd for a guy with same size tires.


I doubt I'll use the juice very often. Truck is becoming a Sunday cruiser, I'll be lucky if i take it to the track twice a year, just want something for those pesky Z06's that think money can buy fastest car alive.


Main goal is to kick it sideways at 30mph w/o juice...maybe 60 with it lol

Dude I honestly think that cam is too small for what you want. Look into the comp LSr cams. I think they will be more along the lines of what you want.

already have the cam...if I'm not happy, will just use bigger jets lol

I saw you mention you wanted around 400rwhp NA...I HIGHLY doubt you will get there with that 212/218...just my

Ya I realized that. The cam is more for low end to get this beast moving. The nitrous is to compensate for the fact it won't be that fast NA. I don't want a cam that moves the RPM range too high, because the stock cam is bad enough off the line. Grandmas with walkers have better 60' times then me. I will eventually get a 2500-3000 stall converter (leaning towards 2800 currently) to help a little, but I don't want an engine I have to redline nonstop to be 'fast'. I plan on spraying from 2800-5800 or so in each gear. If I ever run into some extra money, I'd like to get a 6.0 block, transfer these worked heads, and I'd probably buy a different cam at that time. The price was right on this one, and it was recommended to a guy who had similar suspension/tires as me.

Like I said my buddy has a 02 z28 with a larger cam, and a 3200 (or so) stall, and it is a PAIN to drive on the street. The truck will barely ever see the strip, it's more something for me to cruise to Dairy Queen on Sundays, occasionally open up on backroads. It goes off road, it tows, it's used as a truck more then a race car...but I still have a really heavy foot.

My friends ss454 silverado runs a mid 13, and that truck is realistically plenty fast for what I want (of course, once I hit mid 13, I'll want high 12's)

Might need a 6.0 with TR224 and 3000 stall to do that.
