Cam swap on my 93 LT1
I have a bolt on 93 trans am and am looking for some extra power. I plan on a motor swap to an LS2 or LS3 in the future but not for a while. In the mean time I would like to have a little more fun with my trans am. Dont wanna spend the money to get new heads for it, may just port and polish mine now. I would like to put a heavy cam in it though to get good sound and extra power. Its not a daily driver so I dont mind it being a pretty radical cam, so could anybody suggest a cam for me to get some great power and a nice lobe? Also, dont wanna spend money on rockers or anything like that but would a new set of fuel injectors help out with the cam swap? I figure I will need new pushrods and valve springs as well. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, and have a great one.

A friend of mine from school owns Jones Racing Cams in North Carolina. He does a lot of stuff for both Indy Car and NASCRAP among other things. I am going to send him my stock cam to be reground for my LT1 but it will require LS7 Lifters. I am in the same situation as you are as I either have enough stuff to build a 500+ HP SBC in my shop or I am just going to stuff an LS* motor in mine when I really want to upgrade my engine package. I dont see much use in spending a ton on the LT1 when I have everything else to do something else.

Save your mony for a lsx swap I say spray it if you must do something then you will have a kit for your lsx as well and your not wasting money on mods you won't be using in the next motor

Just did the 503 swap myself...upgrade to 30# injectors is really a must. I am very happy with this cam upgrade, gobs of torque and good top end. U dont want to go to 6400 on the stock bottom end. Or go custom grind. I have been told recently told that a regrind must be re-heat treated or u could blow a motor up. TorF????
