Default Lingenfelter Gt2-3 Cam???

How good of a cam is this? I know nothing about cams. The cam with the car when I bought it and I'm pretty sure there are better/bigger cams out there. Specs are 207/220 @ .050, Lift .571"/578", and centerline 118.5. I just bought a ss4000 converter and a couple of my buddies was saying that the converter was too big for the cam.

Its a little hotter than the LS6 cam. Its a nice cam that's easy on the valve train and sounds exactly like stock. My GTO made 368/360 with it. Dynatech long tubes with cats, stock catback, Speed Inc CAI, SLP underdrive pulley, and tune. Added GMPP LS6 heads and it went to 393/388.

Its a great stealthy cam and it does make power. But that converter sounds too big for the cam.

So would you wait to install the yank ss4000 with a better cam or would I be ok with the one I have now?

Imo a 3200-3600 stall would be better for that cam.

sell the cam to a turbo guy, and get a mid to high 22x cam and that stall is good to go and it'll still be easy to drive.

Check out the Comp 54-428-11 at this link. We've made good power with this camshaft. Bob http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=523

Thanks guys. This is the motor I have in the car. http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...egory_Code=C56
It has the Lingenfelter heads and the Gt2-3 cam I was talking about. I have the paperwork and I call Lingenfelter to confirm that they built/supplied the motor. As of right now everything else is stock but a lm1 exhaust and 3:73 gears. My fast toys 85mm lid will be here wednsday. I'm in the process of trying to build a high 9's to mid 10's car. Like I said I'm still learning so do you guys still recommend the cames that were mentioned. Ls1 tech has helped me so much and yall help is greatly appreciated!!

Planning to do the full bolt ons and suspension. Long tube headers, ported fast 92 combo by Jeff at spectacle solutions, and all the other good stuff.

I don't understand how people are saying the stall is too big for the cam, don't people use LARGER stalls than this one on max effort ls1 STOCK INTERNAL setups?? That converter will work great with that camshaft.

It won't just work, it will kick *** actually.

put the stall in and you will love it, then when you decide to go with a bigger cam the stall will already be in and ready to go.

I DD my goat 60 miles round trip to work and back with heads/ cam/ 3,800 stall and love it

Yea I was going to put it in anyway. I've never been in a stalled car and didnt know what to expect. I've seen on here how everyone who has a stalled car loves it and alot are on stock motors/ mildly modified. I just need to find some tires to hold the beast becuase I have a feeling its going to get REALLY NASTY with this stall! Are you guys that are stalled running a trans cooler?

I just bought this cam off a friend, he had it in his clubsport 5 years ago(3800lb), was very quick its also had a set of ported heads, it ran a 1.63 60 foot with a 3300 stall, and a 1.51 60 foot with a 4400 stall, more stall just made it better

Thanks but I'm not in a hurry to sell it. Pro346 and a couple other guys have convinced me that I'll be ok until I want to go with a bigger cam.

1st of all, you NEED a tranny cooler if you a stall. go to you local auto parts store and get the biggest one they have (rv & towing 20,000-35,000 GVW works perfect)

even with my 3,800 stall it takes just alittle more throttle to get the car rolling (light throttle it will slip to around 1700-1900 rpms).
The only time they slip near the flash rpm is when you mash hard on the throttle.
I have mibe set to lock at 30 mph part throttle to make it easier to frive in town. if it starts to buck and lug at low rpms (bigger cam) all you have to do is touch the brake and it will unlock to stop the bucking.
it will break traction a lot easier so good tires will make a bigger difference.

the tranny will now be your weak link, I beat on mine daily for over a year before I had any problems, when I rebuilt it I got =
Beast sunshell
heavy duty sprag
Raptor input kit
Hughes Performance kevlar race clutchs and band
5 pin planets
Transgo shift kit.

also added a monentary switch to ground from pinout 31 on the blue pcm connector to give me the performance shift option (need to have someone with Hptuners change the setting in the computer to turn on thr option)
basicly gives you two different shift programs....i run normal daily, then when racing hit the button and set the performance shift.
my shift delays, and torque management are zeroed out and shift points and pressures raised in the perf option.......its down right insane how quick and hard it shifts
