I called comp cams and they suggested this cam,how will it work in a 408,tech said power should start early 2400 thru 6500,still little confused will it work,how will it idle?Will it work with the 150 shot?

i would prob go bigger than that. i have a 228/232 .588 .574 112+4 lsa in my stock cube motor. it runs good its my DD and no probs really a bigger motor will/can use bigger cams and still drive great. it really depends on what you are going to do with the car though. BTW from about 3k-6.5k it pulls hard. prob be lower on the RPMs power band wise in a 408 just an FYI

I ran that exact cam in my heads/cam M6 about two years ago. I loved it!! the power came in nice and strong, it dynoed 10rwhp less than my current G5X2 setup but actually ran a tenth faster and 1.5mph better in the 1/8th (I think it had a much broader power band than the G5X2 does)

With that being said I think it would make good power and idle VERY smooth in a 408.

I would go bigger in a 408. I am running bigger in my stock cube motor. and I drive mine everyday. Its all in the tune.

What heads, intake, and compression are you running on this 408? I'm curious as to why the CompCams tech told you to run a cam this small...

If you are running the AFR heads and the FAST 90/90 setup that is in your sig then I would definately run a bigger cam than that...

I am running the afrs 205 and fast 90/90,HLT,3500.Im also curious why they told me that,maybe cause I told them its my everyday driver and out of town car,and that I wanted excellent street manners,if you all think diffrent advise?Has anybody had this cam in a 408?I doubt it,but how much should I make at the wheels,what would the torque curve look like,am I leaving alot of torque/power on the table?

I think that is a good size if your everyday car and its an auto car. You'll gain alittle with a bigger cam but usable power and drivability probably suffer. 230 ish cam is great match for the 205 heads. I think Comp is steering you right IMO.

with a 408 i woudl go high 230's to 240's duration. my cam is bigger than that and in a smaller motor.

i have a 240/247 639/647 @114 dynoed 516/478.. I'm going with not only higher compression from 11:1 to 11:5 and a different cam.. well still decideing if i should? it idles good right about 950 cruises good but gets good power after 3k but then i gain i also have afr 225's so there might be a difference on what type of cam you want to get.. i say either talk to EDC and get a good custom cam or futral.

I know but I cant remember a member here has this cam or close to it in a 408,if I remember correctly he stated he was making over 500hp,do you all think its possible to get even close to 500hp?

DavidNJ

pewter 01 ss, is your engine 408? Thats a lot of cam and 402s have gotten to 550.

That is almost the exact same size cam I have in my 346 and it does pretty well, goes from about 3000 to 6500, but I would definitely go larger in a 408.
Hell, it's too small for my taste in a 346. My next step is the t-rex.

I think you should be at 500 with a locked vert. Why the split? 232/232 600-600 114 is my suggestion. You have to remember that you have an auto trans.

DavidNJ

How does auto trans affect cam duration?

I would think that cam would be very very mild in a 408. Almost a stock idle and would work well on the jug. I would go with atleast an upper 230's duration cam in a 408. JMO


People usually go with a wider LSA with an auto car, for tuning reasons alone. If you have a good tuner then you are good. I ran a 109 LSA in my auto last year

Should be very stealthy and provide good power.

if you are gonna spend the money on a setup like that **** on stealthy, put you a damn 248/252 in that biotch! lol if not take my 346 and give me your motor hha

I think thats to small as well.
Put a Ms3 in there. Its tame for a 346 IMO.
good streetable N/A power for a 408, and awsome on bottle. most people i have seen run it in a 408 get just over 500 to the rear with it. Just an idea.

G-Force is putting my 408 together right now. I also have the 90/90 set-up and have ET 245 heads to go with it. I`m going to spray a 200 shot. Ben decided on a cam alittle bigger than yours. 244 248 620ish 114 an XE-R . I also drive this car daily. My wife drives alittle. I wanted it safe for her. We feel with the heads and all, around 530rwhp. And lot more on spray. I would go alittle bigger also.
