Cam for sale...

That sounds like my setup in the buggy- open induction, free-flow exhaust, but stock manifolds.

What are the characteristics of this cam, i.e., "It's a little softer to about 2000rpm, and then picks up and pulls stronger to redline"

Also, since I'm a relative LSx nOOb.. are new springs (918's seem to be the crowd favorite?) & pushrods required/recommended?

Thanks!

I&#39;m trying to think how best to answer your question. When I had the stock exhaust manifolds, I had a different torque converter too. But the cam definitely worked better with the stock exhaust manifolds as opposed to the headers. The low end torque was really good (also had a 3000 stall converter). But mid to top end it would pull really hard. Maybe harder than my current cam, although I can&#39;t say definitively. I guess bottom line is if you have the stock exhaust manifolds, I think you&#39;d be really happy with it. Contrary to what I expected it loped more with the 116 LSA than my 114 that I have now. Seems to anyway. Maybe it&#39;s just quieter now with the lower lift.

As far as the springs and pushrods, the answer is a definite yes - you want Comp 918&#39;s and hardened pushrods (Texas Speed is a great source).

Hope that helps some...
