Cam Question I'm installing a 2000 LS1 into a 240sx, and I'll be using a Tex-Racing built T10 transmission. The engine already comes with PRC Dual Valve Springs and upgraded push rods, but it still has a stock cam.
The car is a 2700lb 240sx that will be used for autocross and HPDE/TimeTrials on road courses. I plan on swapping my stock 4.08 rear end for a 3.36 or 3.54 rear end. 1st gear should top out around 51mph, if I can get the RPMs safely to 6800rpm.
From the calculations, it looks like the lowest rpm after a shift will be around 4200rpm. I'm not looking for a peaky motor, but one that is easy to drive and has a nice smooth power delivery. My initial hp goals for this project was 350whp.
Do any of you have a recommendation on a good cam for this setup?
