small convertor in light car big motor, need cam advice I posted in the main forum but I think the guys have seen the question a lot...
Basically I have a 2800 lb mazda rx7, 4.10 gears, 26 inch tires.. an LQ4 (366cid ish) with tsp z06 heads knocked in around 10.5:1 compression...
The trans is a 4l60e with a transgo kit, beast sunshield gear, corvette servo, and a 2200 stall.
I am trying to find cams in my power range, most of the recommendations people are making seem to be in lieu of a 3600-3800 lb fbody. My car is almost 1000 lbs less...
Is it possible to run more aggresive cams with the 4l60e and a 2200 stall?
I was thinking like XER273 224/230 w/ .581/.588 lift @ .050"... 114 lsa..
The cam is rated at 2000-7000rpm, does this still apply to my car? Or are the power range numbers skewed slightly? If so, what range should I aim for?
Any advice would be awesome!
This is a daily driver, I also would love to not roast the oil cruising around or on the highway or something...
TIA
