i dont recommend any cam with the stock stall...no fun to drive as it is with the stock cam. stall should always come first, as it puts you right in the heart of the LS1's power range

you wanna tell me how driving habits and frequency WON'T dictate the length of spring life?

This is the cam I originally recommended for him, but look at his other mods. He is looking for strictly top end, so thats the only reason i left the F13 and told him to go bigger. True, the F13 would give him a broader power band, but with the 4000 stall, he doesnt have a lot of rpm to play with anyway. Besides, it will strictly be a track car as I understand

gyrene2003

Yeah, first and foremost I am looking for good track times, being streetable is definatly second on the list because I have another car I dd.

gyrene2003

Yeah, thanks for the offer but I'm gonna buy new while I have the money

It will but not the way you think it will!! You will not have to change springs every few months more like every few years with that cam. That cam and the right valve springs should last a for a long while..

I do agree with this. The stock stall will also make the car tend to stall..

bro, i'm not the one that said every few months. the original poster said that, and he was exaggerating what I told him. let's keep on topic here

Thats cool but like I posted before. Look at the video in my sig. My car is 3600lb car with me in it and that pass was a N/A motor run. Here is a list of all my mods.. Plenty of people run plenty of different setups. It's all in what you think is the right thing to do. I gave Futral a track time I wated to run with the stock bottom end car and I hit that mark. There aren't many people that can say they hit 10's with there stock bottom end full weight LS1 based car without spray. Allan Futral did all of my engine work and then recommended what else I needed to do to hit my mark. You could also do like I did and contact Brian Tooley over at TEA to question about different heads. He was a huge help to me when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do. ED Kurtis is someone else you can contact regarding your cam questions. I hope there is no hard feelings with your buddy but when I was building my car I only took advice from the best in the buisness and that led me to where I am today.. Hope this info helps..

Then I am sorry for the confusion.. Good times

Raise

No hard feelings man. I myself recommended a few top dogs for him to speak with (Patrick G, Predator-Z & Alan Futral just to name a few) who have been around for a while and have plenty of experience with specs, building and testing. I realize my advice is subsequent to theirs, and he knows that. I'm no pro by a long stretch, but I have been around for quite a few builds and results, so I try to guide him in the best direction.

Thats cool man and would have to admitt that I would have done the same thing!! I am like you when it comes to building a motor, a novice. I do it for the fun of it. I've helped friends build there motors in the past but for some reason I let Allan build this one.. I am in the process of building a Iron 6.0l 408ci motor for my car and trust me I will be asking allot of questions along the way.. I've talked to Patrick G, he helped resolve an issue I was having with my car and helped get me into the 10's.

Raise

iTrader: (31)

Sounds like a nice motor youre putting in there What rearend are you running? As far as Patrick G, his knowledge amazes me. He spec'd out a cam for me a while ago when I was still kinda learning...I had no idea there was that much to it. I learned how every little difference in grind came in to play. He made me realize that it is indeed a science. Anyway, sorry Darren, I know we're hijacking your thread here

F13, don't waste your time on any of that other crap. Put a good head on there too and you will never look back. Remember, bigger isn't always better

I flycut my pistons after I milled my heads down. Didn't HAVE to but I did not want to push it close, didn't really want a new bottom end quite yet

thanks guys i guess i will get a stall first then the cam hopefully this year or by next yr.

yank 3600 stall

Raise

iTrader: (31)

good move. always good to stall first, you would hate a cam with the stock stall. anyway, i has the yank ss3600 on my 02 red z and i loved it. you will not regret it. the yank converters tend to drive tighter than most, so your 3600 will probably feel as tight around town as most 3200 stalls.

Hmm... Maybe you should just get the LS6 cam
