I know im doing things backwards but before i install this cam i want to make sure it does indeed suit my setup.
My setup is:
stock shortblock
stock unmilled 243 heads w/valve job
lunati gold valvespring set
ls7 lifters
i have comp 7.4 pushrods installed now but will measure the new setup
ls6 oilpump/ls2 chain etc etc
ls6 intake
ARH 1 7/8 longtubes with ARH ORY
Borla catback
M6 with textrailia clutch
stock 3.42 gears (for now)
TNT 100-150 shot

Now the cam that i picked up is a Futral F11.
FMS-F11-114- 228"/230" .576"/.595" 114+4LSA

My goals for the car: This car is purely a street car and i dont plan on taking it to the track anytime soon. The only kind of racing im going to be doing is roll racing as i dont want to destroy my 10 bolt before i can afford to get a 9"
I'd put more emphasis on under the curve power before i would massive top end but i dont want to give up one for the other. I understand that with this cam on a 114 Im not going to get a huge amount of lope/chop but i still want SOME lol. Im not too worried about street manners. Im young enough that i dont mind dealing with a car thats "hard to drive" Not having any kids yet really helps with that hehe.
I plan on having predZ or PatG spec me a cam but for now i want to see if my setup is well matched or if there is anything i can change (cam or otherwise) to better suit my goals.
Thanks tech!

That cam should work great...driveability should be fine in the hands of a competent tuner.

yeah i didnt think drivability would be an issue with this cam. i guess what i meant by not worrying about drivability was that i wouldnt mind driving with a bigger/harder to tune cam if it meant extracting the most out of my setup. thanks for the reply

Looks like a really good combo to me.

Don't really know alot about the Futral line of cams but based on the specs it seem like a good combo. If you want maybe a lil more chop to it at idle get it ground on a 112LSA instead of a 114. Just a thought but of course a custom grind from the already mentioned experts will be a great choice too.


Oh my bad I didn't see at first that you already bought the cam. It seems like you have a nice combo now get it installed tuned and let her rip.

Combo looks good, I would go 3.73s or 4.10s though. It will only help.

Yup that looks like a pretty good set up to me as well

4.10's are going in for SURE. I just dont think i want to throw any money at my 10 bolt. The only reason i bought this cam was because i picked it up cheap from a coworker. I'm definitely going to have a cam speced(sp?) out to my setup though. The inner kid in me is drawn to the nasty lope/chop LOL.

If you got it at a good price, stab it in and go. When I was looking for a cam, I was planning on buying a 228r but ran across a great deal on a 224r. That's whats in the car now and I like it.

setup looks good and if you have any extra cash to spend you might want to check out a set of adjustable rockers (helps alot when setting up valve train geometry)

Thanks for the imput guys. I forgot to mention i have the trunion upgrade as well.

Anyone think another cam would work well? Anyone?
