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

    I bought this cam because I planned on keeping this truck a daily driver, and I wanted 'useable' power for my big tires/extra weight.


    Since then, I've bought a daily driver, and decided to go a little more extreme with the truck.

    I have a set of heads at machine shop now, I have this cam http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/c...csid=1085&sb=2, I have a set of headers waiting, and now I'm thinking about throwing on a nitrous kit for days I'm really in the mood to 'play'. Truck will get 42lb injectors, walbro pump, and probably a 2800 stall verter whenever the trans goes.

    I know the cam is not extreme by any means, but like i said, this thing is HEAVY and getting it rolling is main priority. I want it to be quick w/o the spray, but having it fast with would be a nice bonus.

    Would this cam handle the nitrous alright? I'm new to nitrous world, and don't want to waste the money on the kit, if a 150 shot will end up netting me 25 horse because of my cam. But I also don't want a truck that is a dog, unless I'm spraying.

    shifty that is one big azz truck lol, BUT i like it, its very clean and nice, the cam you chose would work well, with or without nitrous, im sure theres a better cam out there BUT i have no idea which one lol.. thus is why i go to patrick or ed or eric or someone in the know about cams.. im not asking you to do this just letting you know how i pick my parts

    i personally think you'll gain more than you think on the juice specially with a 150 shot,

    just snapped that you have heads at the machine shop, thats gonna change the overall picture even more.. i would sugguest going ahead and talking to a cam specialist

    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.

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