Which cam? I've been talking with Lloyd at Lloyd Elliot Portworks about a new set of heads, and a new cam. I'm going with his LE2 heads, and he's given me a couple different options for cams. I'm currently running a cc503, but want to move up a bit. He gave me two different options for the cam, but I really know nothing about cams and am looking for a little guidance! Here's a bit from the email he sent me:
228/236.592/.592 110 LSA will work great and pull to 6400 RPM with TONS of mid range TQ.
The 230/240 .592/.592 110 LSA will make a lil loess low and mid range but the same power at 5000 RPM and about 5 more HP at 6000 RPM and about 8 more HP at 6500 RPM.
Now... I'm going to be running a 3600 stall TC, and am wondering if it would be pointless to go with something that makes a lot of low end torque? The car is a 95 Trans Am, LT1

Its not a DD, but I do drive it on the street quite a bit in the summer. Probably four to five days a week. I just ordered the 3600 stall, so I really cant move up to a 4000 at the moment. Also, the 4.10s just went in a few months ago, and cost me an arm and a leg to have installed, so I don't really want to switch those out now. Are they going to hurt my ET??

Also, another dumb question: Once I have this here and all bolted together, I'm going to need to get it tuned. I live on an island just off the coast of BC, Canada, and will have to take a ferry to the mainland and have someone in Vancouver do the tuning. Will it be ok to drive it on the ferry, and straight to the tuner? Or will it need to be trailered? Just asking, because the ferry is bloody expensive and charges by the foot if you're longer than something like 15 feet.

Since you already have them on, they will work fine especially the w/4.10 gearing. You should at least get a mail order tune for the new h/c combo, 3600 stall,and the gear. Give MadTuner a call.

Isn't it better to have it tuned in person, with the car there? I don't want to pay for a mail order tune, then still have to go to the mainland and have it tuned to run the way I want. Seems like a waste of a couple hundred bucks
