LQ9 cam question I was looking at a cam for my LQ9 and was wondering if you guys thought it would work without cutting the pistons. The specs are :
.650"/.650" w 1.7 rockers .3823"/.3823" lobe lift
289*/293*@.006"...234*/238*@.050"...156*/160*@.200"
LSA-112* ICL-108*
int op-9*BTDC...int cl-45*ABDC
exh op-55*BBDC...exh cl-3*ATDC
I know the lift is high, but the duration isn't too nasty. I know I'll still need to check to verify, but my question is more a "what would you guess" thing as I don't want to waste my money on it if everyone feels there is no way it would clear, but if you think there's a chance it may be worth checking into. The engine is a stock LQ9 longblock with a vic jr intake and carb, and 1 7/8 headers in a 2800lb car.
Thanks for your time,
Darren
