Cam question, I know not another one
Hi,
Ive searched and have not been able to really get my question answered.
I have a cam 232/236 595/602 114
What Im wondering is how liveable is this cam? I am looking for something that will have a decent idle, be able to be driven around easily, cold start etc.
Now that I look at it this cam seems a lil big to me, but I was wondering if someone with a similiar cam could lend me some information.
Also does anyone have a vid of something similiar?
Thanks in advance

I wanted something similar, but my speed shop guru talked me into a 224/234, 581/589. He said anything bigger might get into piston to valve clearance problems. Although it's no big deal to notch pistons, I didn't want to deal with it. Besids, he said the cam would,be a good match for my heads/intake. Valvetrain component selection is not for the novice, which is why I sought out professional advice.

There is a couple of short video clips of mine on LS1sounds.com, look for "ZO6/Dynatech LT's, GHL Catback" HTH Oh, and I better add that tuning with a cam of this size is critical for driveability. You want to make sure that whoever tunes it knows what they are doing with LS1 edit or HPTuners.
