Leaving power on the table with current cam?
Leaving power on the table with current cam? Im curious as to how much power I may be leaving on the table with my cam, I have had mixed opinions up to this point.
Basic setup;
416 LS3; 10.4:1 CR; E85 & Meth
Stock heads
Novi 2200
Cam: 231/242; .617/.615; 113lsa

It depends what your goals are and what RPM range you want to use the engine. The cam is a little on the small side but should make plenty of power with that setup. If you already have the cam I would give it a shot and see how it works, I'm sure it will make plenty HP. The only real reason to change it is if your running a class or trying to get every last HP out of it.
I think that cam will be fine. Yes it's on the small side for a 416 but you don't always need the biggest cam to get the job done. Time to start saving for a set of heads though. You don't need to run meth if you're on e85.
ill upgrade my heads when I go to a 6 bolt.

Yes i would change it. Mainly because the thing is ground with LSL lobes that are damn quick ramps for a boosted motor...
How many psi of boost is it making?
Personally id have something to the tune of 239/250 115+4 in it.
