need advice from cam guru's
 
Ive came across a used cam for sale from vengeance racing.its a 219/215 .604/.601 115+3. Im curious to know if this work on my 4.8 gt45 combo. Thanks

Anyone?

It odd no answers.

I'd have no hesitation in using it...but is it really that cheap ?

toughy v8 Apr 15, 2015 02:41 PM

Im also surprised too stevie i might try the turbo forums instead.

LSA is a little wide for that small a cam but it will work.

I got Duttweiller to answer a question one time on LSA for a 215/215 HR for a gen 1.
He said 112.

Jim at Speed Inc ran a 218/218 113 LSA in his gen II and made 875 or so rwhp. 61mm TT.

Could you explain to me the plus 3 part? is it ground in advance? Or does 115+3 really just mean 118.

stevieturbo Apr 17, 2015 06:48 AM

Never really understood that myself.

You'd think if the entire cam was ground with x deg advance...they would just list the cam as timing at x deg advance rather than stating +3 somewhere

The 115 refers to the LSA, not the actual valve timing

The + after the lsa normally means the advance ground into cam. A 115 +3 is a 115 deg lsa ground to a 112 ICL (intake center line). In short + 3 deg of advance ground in.

So stock48 whats your opinion on the cam ive mentioned?

stock48 Apr 17, 2015 11:48 PM

Depends on what lobes they are.
