hey guys im finaly coming towrd the end of parts gathering for my build. the only thing left is my cam selection and i have quite a few in mind. any imput would be great. ive decided im going with a forged 346 bottom end bored 20 over with a scat rod clevite bearings mahle pistons and extremely heavily ported 241 heads. patriot gold dual valve springs etc etc and pissibly a 100 shot.

my dilema with cams are between the following

ms3

torquer v3

Comp Cams LSX-r Hydraulic Roller 231 / 247 .617/.624 113 LSA,

Comp Cams LSX-r Hydraulic Roller 235 / 251 .621/.624 113 LSA

or the

Thunder Racing "TR TRuTorq" Level 4 - 227/234 .616/.614 115 LSA



i want something thats gonna have a chopy lope and great power and torque through the mid to high end power band. i know lots of u guys have great info so let me hear it

 

I would highly highly recommend getting a custom grind. I would talk to some one like Patrick g. He will ask everything about ur build, how big, what heads, pistons, if u are using forced induction or not. And will grind u a cam that will get you the most power

 

how can i get ahold of patrick g

 

The ms3 will probably make 3-8hp more then the v3 but make the power at higher rpm you will have to rev it more. If you want the crazy chop get something on a 111lsa and that will make you satisfied.


The Comp Cams LSX-r Hydraulic Roller 235 / 251 .621/.624 113 LSA is way to much duration for a 346 and you will have to rev it to 7300 to get the full power out of it. Id will be a slug down low and lower mid range.

would be great for a blower but will not have a choppy camin' idle like you want.

The Comp Cams LSX-r Hydraulic Roller 231 / 247 .617/.624 113 LSA, ms3 or tq v3 is what you have to narrow it down to now.

 

pm his user name tell him what your combo is and what your goals are and paypal him 40 bucks and he sends you the specs then you call comp cams give them the specs and they grind it 4 you

 

+1 just type patrick g in search and crazy threads will show up.

 

Well I just went from a tr224 to a comp xer 236/240 601/608 113+3 and patriot dual golds. Alot of people said its too much, but so far it drives pretty good and revs to 6900 with no issues. Here is a vid from the other night when I finished it. The fuel trim needs a little work due to stepping up injectors.

now what i dont understand is what is the plus three thing on the lsa

 

pm sent

 

It means that the lobes have been ground in with 3 degrees advanced. So you still set it up dot to dot instead of getting out the degree wheel for those 3 degrees

 

I say MS3! Its a proven cam and loves spray! Hit up brian he has similar setup to what you have and his car is running real strong

 

Sending you a PM
