Im putting a 2001 corvette ls1 in my 66 nova and just going through some cam options. Im looking to be around 400 horse at the wheels on a 750 double pumper. Jr victor intake and msd box. All stock long block. Any suggestions an anything to get there would be great. Even things other than a cam. Thanks.

if i go with that comp cam do i need to use different springs and rockers? id like to keep the stock ones if possible.
and my whole set up is a filly stock ls1 out of a 2001 corvette. im going to use the msd 6012 box and performer rpm carb intake with a holly avenger 770. thanks

oh sorry thats what i meant on the msd box. the 24 tooth one. i think i might go with that 2216. it actually says to use stock springs and rockers. found new on ebay for 350. doesnt seem to bad for these lsx cams. has anyone used one before?

For springs, the PAC brand #1518s are very nice units. Stock retainers and locks are fine, but you will likely want to upgrade your stock rocker's bearings with the Comp Cams trunion bearing upgrade kit and buy some good hardened pushrods.

not to throw another factor in there but a nitrous cam is similar to a turbo cam correct? i wont run nitro but there is a possibility i might throw 7-8 psi at in on a small turbo set up. will the 2216 still be ok with that? its very close to what you said. but it has 5 degree exhaust duration. everything else is the same or close to it.

For a light boost turbo setup, you can just run the cam you have and still get very impressive performance. But, if you want a cam that will bring a nice performance improvement N/A, but still work great with turbo, a lot of guys are having great success with the 220/220 on 112-114 LSA cams. I ran one of those when I first built my car and it powered my 3700#+ car well into the 11s. That cam will be happy with an ICL between 108-110 using a Victor Jr. intake from my experience with it.

Should probably spend the money on the spring upgrade. Would cost alot more of you had unstable valvetrain. I'm running a mother thumper cam in my 5.3.couldn't believe the mid range torque that cam made over stock.
