I have a local friend that has a 96 Impalla SS who has built up a somewhat large stash of aftermarket and OEM LT1 parts. Among those were a couple of cams, one being brand new(he bought it and never installed it. It is a custom grind Comp Cam, ended up getting it from him for $150 bucks. Its rather large but should work nicely in my 383 with a god pair of heads(Im leaning towards either Dart or Trick Flow). This is an N/A motor that might someday see some nitrous use. I would post the cam specs, but I dont want to start the arguement about it being too big of a cam, etc......

OK the wife talked me into posting the specs on the cam, so here we go...

242/248, .576 .600, 155 lsa

Also, I see your wife wears the pants in your house

its a good sized cam, but we've got people running stupid huge cams. and the small cam, efficient drivetrain/suspension guys pick on them.

texas94z

it is def a 115 lsa. no way in hell its a 155. i dont even think the car would run.

Even if it is a 115 LSA, why?

yeah isnt a stock cam like 116 or 118 LSA? theres going to be no lopey sound on that thing.

JasonC

Ha, just read my typo. Yes its 115. Why the wide lsa, I dont know, just how they spec'd it. Definately going to be different than the Hotcam thats in the car now. Shouldnt be too long before Im ready to put it in, so we'll see how it does.

Formula96 - Hes a good friend that lives in Kilgore. He drives a pretty quick 96 Impalla SS. I know he has another cam that is used, a little smaller than this one, and has like 4 pairs of stock LT1 heads. I dont know what else he has though.

Formula96

that cam will probably make a nice blower cam, more lobe seperation, means less overlap, meaning you are not going to lose any boost with the overlap....

You don't call that guy impy? do you Jason?

im gonna have to agree here, cam prolly has a very good idle as well, probably designed for a streetable FI car

Formula96 - Nope dont call him impy. His name is Cheston. You might know him, he used to run around with the Longview crew years ago.

Definately could be a good blower cam! Hmmm could a s/c be in my future?
