Emailed cam motion, no reply, I need a cam quick.

setup:

Forged 5.3, wiseco pistons, scat rods, 317 heads,

compression with 317s will be 8.5:1 but I'm most likely going to swap over to 243s to bring it into the 9.5 :1 cr. Going in a 4400lb+ 78 transam. Going through a t56 magnum.

looking to keep it around 700hp using pump gas

thinking about going with a genuine s475

still want this thing to sound gnarley, I LOVE the sound of N/A Lopey cams. I don't mind having someone spec me a cam or just buying an off shelf cam.

thanks for any suggestions

get the "sloppy stage 1" trickflow for now with the low CR

get a custom cam later when you swap heads

thanks for the quick reply, I'm open to the idea but why not do it right the first time you know? Do you know what cam will kind of work with both heads? I don't mind spending money now for the right cam.
I appreciate any suggestions
thanks

Or just buy a lil john stage 2 and be done with it. He should have those in stock

Hi, I can supply A Crower camshaft.
The "specs" :

212/220 .560"/.525" @ 103 CL.

This will do ask asked AND a VERY fast "spool".

" Why not do it right the first time" ??? Wouldn't that include the heads you want? A point of compression is a big difference when your talking lower compression numbers like those and cam selection. How are the upper rpms on the cam with 103 CL? Seems like a weird combination of CL and .050 duration. The worst thing you can do is have a mismatched combo between heads, compression, cam etc. it won't run nearly as well as a nicely out together combo.

Stage 3 ljms cam is way to big for your goals. The stage 2 has made over a 1000 whp and still has the sound you are after. They are right a full point of compression is going to be a huge difference on the street.

PM Stock48 for a Isky triple like everyone else, proven performance

All of the recommendations in this thread are spot on. I personally would go with the Jegs 228/230 cam. Very good budget choice. Otherwise an LJMS Stage 2 would be my choice.

228/233 on a 111+4


Same intake open and exhaust close as the shelf stage 2.... more overlap to help get the turbine wheel excited since you do not have a torque converter to spool against.

that's pretty cheap! Anyone have experience with this cam?

What do you guys just think about a 228r 112 lsa?

SethU

I must be misreading this. Same intake open and exhaust close, yet more overlap??? Confused.

TheLS1Lover

It's one of the cams that Denmah recommends.

LJMSJohn

LOL dyslexic.... intake close... exhaust open.

Sorry
