Default Cam Time Baby!!

Ok..I have a TR 230/236 592/603 111.5 on the way...as well as some Comp 7.400 pushrods. Still need to get some 918s,Chain,Gasket Set, and debating on lifters and rocker arms. Any advice? Guys think this cam ought to thump pretty good, and pull hard on a street driven cam only car? Mods in sig. Thanks.

For sale section I take it, I thought of buying that cam. It should thump decent but without headers is retaded IMO. It will choke it out, make it more of a dog down low and not produce even close to what it can.

I totally agree. I think I have a bad pushrod/rocker arm..so I am tearing into this 1st. Trust me...LTs and ORY are immediately following the cam.

i would do headers and exhaust first and then do the cam. and with the headers and sxhaust i would do some gears. 3.73 will work nice with that and that cam should put down some nice numbers as long as the above bolt ons are done otherwise you wont get much power out of it

ya never noticed those gears, with that cam I agree you need 3.73's or it will chug along with 3.42's and especially those shitty 3.23's

No it wont chug along because of the 3600 stall. 3.23s will work fine for street, 3.73s for track use.
Make sure the 918s are installed at 1.80 height, I would use 7.425 Copm Cam p-rods
Of course headers are a must. Do it all topgether and tune immediately

I like my 3.23s. I will go 3.73 when I get a 9" etc. But until this rearend pops...3.23s it is. Hell, I am only a car behind my brothers 3600Stall, LT/True Dual/3.73 car. Like Pred said....its not gonna chug with the 3600 in there, it just wont be as tight as it would with 3.73s. I agree on the Headers for sure tho. What do you guys think about rocker arms?..Any problems with using my stockers if they appear ok?
