u asked for advice. u got it. they all pointed toward about the same place. u basically told everyone they wer wrong. whats ur goal in this? its very obvious u want to run this cam for reasons i cant figure out. from the look of those specs, somethinn was lost in translation when u explained what u had.

good luck with the build

What you can tolerate for a daily no-one knows but you. I DDed a TRex cam in an LS1/T56 for almost 2 years (242/248 on a 110 LSA), the first year with 3.42s. I often drove in bumper-to-bumper traffic too. I know its not an LT1, but my point is I DDed a donkey dick cam for almost 2 years, so anything is possible.

the motor had nothing to do with the slow et. the lack of tire and suspension did. it its never had any weight reduction either. it weighs around 3600. its not even tuned correctly. your argument is invalid

the track was going uphill too right, and that was the slow lane other other side reads 2 secs faster.

So... now you're cluttering up the drag tech section with your fucked up, over cammed, daily driver combo?

Watch out, we've got an internet vigilante on our hands!

I figured the track guys might be more helpful...

That cam is too big especially for a heavy car. I ran 224/230 hot cam in a 355 with 11.5:1 compression vortec headed motor with 3500 stall and 3.73's and the car ran great on the highway and at the track. I ran 7.90's in the 1/8th at 86 mph with 1.7 60ft on DR's and weighed 3850 with me in it. I put a bigger cam in thinking it would give me more top end and it went slower. It was a comp cam 248/258 112 straight up nitrous cam. It went 8.20's@87 mph. I had to advance the cam +4, loosen up the converter to 4000. The car ran 7.85@87 mph with a 1.65 60ft. The drivability sucked, power brakes didn't work too well and the efficency of the motor was not like the hot cam. Right now I'm running the bigger cam in my 427 and it works great. If you go with something like a 396 I would put that cam in, but I would definitley put a smaller cam in a 355. The 224/230 cam worked great in my 355.

so you put in a nitrous cam and seriously expected to make more power than a n/a cam? Hit both with a 150 shot and you'll notice the difference right away

I'm not sure what responses you're supposed to get when you're an *******...but this thread turned out exactly as I'd expect with the attitude you've had.

****, sorry for not adding relevant real-world information. You probably shouldn't ask AI or LE anyways, they have zero proven real-world LT1 success, right?

I'm an *******? I'm just asking a question and getting people telling me **** that isn't relevant to the question. You guys are the ******** here.

I didn't ask your opinions, or what works best for you or your friend, I asked who has run something of a similar size.
If you wanna tell someone about your feelings and opinions go to a shrink.

So first you want to know about any potential problems with tuning or drivability, but then the only thing you are interested in is real world results, and then all of a sudden everyone else's advice is baloney? Pertaining to your first question, you have gotten TONS and TONS of suggestions regarding issues with tuning and (more importantly) driveability.

Here's some real world advice. I ran a cam roughly that big on the stock heads, and EVERYONE who has posted in this thread is right regarding the SUCKAGE that it was. It blew. That CamMotion grind will also blow.

How thick is your skull exactly?

Johnny-LT1-runner

Real world results, being the key word here. You've actually been helpful, aside from the abundant off topic comments, others not excluded.

How exactly will their grind blow? You a cam geometry expert now?

You don't have to be a cam expert to realize that 240 degrees of duration and .525" of lift on a stock head with a small runner isn't going to perform. There are reasons why cam-only guys on stock heads run smaller cams and are immensely successful. The fastest cam-only guys don't use donkey dick cams like the one you've listed. Think about it...

That cam is going to want to make power to 6800+ RPM. Will your stock bottom end survive? Maybe temporarily. Assuming your stock bottom end doesn't explode, move on to the heads. That cam will need the RPMs far beyond what the LT1 heads can handle. That's the point of PORTING the heads when you increase how much air-fuel mixture is entering the engine. If the heads cannot support what the valve events are, it's like trying to parallel park a school bus in a compact car-sized space.

The research has already been done for you. Search, search, and search some more, and see what the cam-only guys are running. The guys who run donkey dick cams on stock bottom ends only ever result in disappointment, and I'll attest to that. In this instance, CamMotion provided you with a poor suggestion, and that's the truth.

For what it's worth, I run a SMALLER cam in my 383 with fully ported stock castings (from Advanced Induction, by the way). There are some 383s running around with much larger cams, single plane, etc. that don't put down the numbers I do.

Once again, it's going in a rebuilt 355.
