Default cam question

Ok guys i have a comp cam that i origanly bought for my old TPI set up. I have since sold the thirdgen and cant see letting the cam go to waste. Its not really the cam i want but i already have it and was wondering how well itll work in my LT1. The cam is 218/224 duration, .495/.503 lift on a 112 lsa. ill also be running a set of pro mag 1.6RR and the bolt ons in the sig. Any input would be great.

thanks

The cam you have is the 08-502-08 and the same cam for an LT1 is the 07-502-08. I dont know alot about the pre '93 f-bodies but my guess is the same as above. If its not the one you want I would just try selling it on here or on ebay and pick up the one you do want.

Awesome, looks like your good to go then. I would expect 330-340rwhp ish with that cam and the rest of your setup with a tune of course. The Crane 10308-1 valve spring kit would work perfect.

if it put 340 I would be pretty happy with it. that would be more then enough for mid to low 12s I think. thanks again for the help.
