Here is my situation, Erik with HPE is almost done with my motor and I wasn't sure on a good choice cam to go with. The motor Im having built is a 346 forged with an 8.8:1 commpression, 6.0 L heads, and im also running an STS Turbo kit. I live in California so I wanted the best performance cam available but the will still pass the sniff part of smog. Any help is appreciated.

Go with an LS6 cam. Works good with a turbo, idles well and will probably be no problem with a sniffer test.

So the LS6 cam is a good cam to go with?

yes...the 02+ zo6 cam is a good cam...i dont run it..but if i had to do it over again..i would use a 02+ z06 cam

What about the Lingenfelter cam? I spoke to Billy at TRT and he recommended a custom reverse split cam with a 224 duration.

well..u can get a 02 z06 cam from free too $100..

how much is a lingenfelter cam?

if u got the budget do it..but if u would rather spend the extra money else where...

I would get ahold of one of the cam companys and have a request

I have had extremely good luck with Cam Motion and Clay Smith

I think the LPE cam is ~$380. I was just looking at them last night. I like the idea of the stock drivability of the Z06 though.

Running a Z06 cam here. Idles/drives just as smooth as stock. See sig. Makes plenty of power.

I bought one off ebay..a GT7 ling cam basically brand new.They seem to be comp cams custom ground to ling specs I think by lingenfelter or comp not sure.
I figured Lingenfelter knows a thing or two about turbocharging!

Specs are on their site. its got a huge lsa and is not very radical at all for lift but has split duration with more on the exhaust. I expect very good idle from it.

I went with the LPE Gt7 cam at first and with out cats it kinda sounds funny to me, so I installed the MTI Stealth II cam witch is just a little more radical then the Z06 and I love the MTI cam. They both idle great but the power band feels much better now. JMO

What about the specs 225/225/115 would this be a good choice for a turbo cam.

another vote for the ls6 cam. It's what is in my 370 that should be fired up tonight. I have another friend with one in his rear mounted turbo car. Made 533 @ 7psi T67 (had ported 317 heads) with a 10.2:1 a/f (the BOV line came off and caused the BOV to leak boost). The car makes power to 6500.

Generally speaking I'd run a single pattern 225/225 over the Z06 or LPE cam. Neither the LPE or the Z06 cam have much intake duration vs. stock.

PSJ you know if the Cam does not have a cool name no one wants it

any idle clips out there? I want something thats not too radical (as in same mpg) but has a not so stock idle, again nothing radical but something you can hear.

I think thats the point. Stock drivablity.

You can still have basically stock driveability using a mid 220's cam on a 115.
We did a 226/220 on a 115 and the cam was very near stock idle.

hows the mileage and valve train hold up to a cam like that?

trtturbo

iTrader: (25)

Valve train was upgraded on this car, so not an issue. Mileage seems pretty good, but hard to tell; car has a built 347 and just gets beat on most of the time.
