Yes its the cam that Chris Frank spec'ed for it. Honestly I thought it was on the large side even lol I am still use to the dinky little cams we used in the Hemi motors.

I agree 4.56's would be spot on paper, also I will not be locking up the converter so it will use more RPM's going through the traps. The 4.30's were selected/bought when it was going to be 418 LS3 with a huge shot of nitrous, but plans changed. Couldn't bring myself to make a nitrous setup, N/A all the way! If they need to be changed that will be no problem.

For sure, after the dyno I will have a better idea what needs to be tweaked!



So he is not the guy to go to?

Never mentioned who was doing the install, it will be Colton though. Chris is no longer part of LSXPS



O my, I still want to be able to drive this in 100+ degree weather and have fun in it. Don't want to completely make it a track only truck, it has to be somewhat streetable. I do have a crazy tolerance to what it streetable though lol



It will be a Holley Hi-Ram and Kooks LT's with 2" primaries to help it exhale.

big cams to alot of guys on the net are 228 230 236 lol i run a 25x/26x in a 408, but my lift is only 621, i feel its to small but its setup for what im after, timing events are crucial to a build, everything is printed on my 408 and have been flowed, my stall is a triple disc 4600 from circle D very nice and if tuned properly its very streetable, heck you seen my truck i drive it very where and for long distance, you said it, its what one can tolerate, i used to run 4:88 gears on 29" tires i trapped 132 on a 150 shot of nitrous, at 70 i was at like 2750 rpms, if i remember correctly, maybe 3k , and if you have the right parts in that motor trust me its a nitrous setup lol maybe not for a huge hit but a good 200 easy


dont fear big cams big gears big stalls tuning is the upmost important and all these can be tuned to your liking, quik ( george c ) does my tuning and theres no daily issues besides now having a cage in it


you got hp tuners?

put it this way LSX 454 i could do 800+ maybe 900 NA easy to the ground or more im fixing to start building a aluminum motor here shortly
