How is this cam going to work. 229/232.600-112LSA. What valve springs and push rods to i need for this? How is this cam going to sound?

Just out of curiosity...if you dont have an idea of how the cam is going to be, why on earth would you order it? not being smart...just curious...

but it should be a pretty good cam..ive seen close to and over 400rwhp with cams close to that one....whos cam is that?

ls1jimmy

well its getting put in on monday so thay said thay where putting in 918 Valve springs, 7.350 chromoly pushrods just would like to know if this would work good

BLKWS6

what other mods do you have? is this on stock heads? A4 or M6....need more info...

I would assume unless you have heads that you would put in the stock 7.400 length pushrods.
Also I would probably go with double springs with a lift that high ... something like the 921's.

Oh, and I agree with BLKWS6 ... why the hell would you order something as important as a cam before you had any idea about it at all?

i am agreeing with phantom on this. With that lift you might wear out the springs they ordered for you. doubles might be a safer but, just IMO also why the shorter rods, to compensate for the lift of the cam?? cant say i have seen this happen too many times..


just research the cam better, and were did you get it from??

good luck with this setup since you just pretty much walked into a room with black people with you wearing a KKK suit. some probs might be happening

And go back to school ... I think your worse then Cudah.

See what happens when the mods let the STF out of the street racing section?

ls1jimmy

thay told me it would work so i said ok then i was thinking that is to big for the valve springs so i just need someone to tell me that i would not work then i was going to tell him to get a diffrent cam.

The 918's will work, but .600 lift is high, and I would feel far safer with 921's or another double spring if I was installing a cam in the .600 lift range. As for the pushrods ... get the stock length ones, end of story.

you will break valve springs with that .600lift. 921's are a good spring, and should last well, and stock pushrods will be fine, unless you have had the heads milled and what not or anyother head changes we or you do not know about.


sorry for being an ***, just think you should have researched this one out a little more!
