Predator Z seems to have his PM's off, so...........how much is this cam and what is all needed/recommended? And, how do u go about grabbing it? Looking for any info I can on this. Seems like the cam to go with. Thanks

 

what is the specs for this cam ? i did't heard about it

 

Just give the specs to Texas Speed, and they will hook you up.

 

230/230 .612/.598

 

3016 (intake XFI lobe) 3725 (exhaust X-ER lobe)

230/230 .612/.592 LSA 111+2...

it is a comp custom grind but any vendor can order it for you...

7.425 chomoly pushrods & dual springs

it is a great cam

 

Splittin hair close but the .598 lift would put it on a 234 X-ER lobe..... Thats what I run to help offset the cats compared to the slightly smaller 230/592 exhaust lobe on chrs1313 "El Torro".

Sorry if I seem like I am nit picking but just clarifying little details

 

Chris,

I'm sure this is a stupid question but, what is the ICL on the cam? I'm assuming since the LSA is 111 and it's +2 advanced the ICL comes out to 109. Didn't Predator spec this cam out originally as a 111+4 an you retarded it 2* for some more PTV?

I'm really thinking that this is the cam for me

 

i just recieved the cam last week! question though, i saw another members cam card for this and it showed the lobe numbers (3016, 3725) on his, but not on mine. is there any way i can get this cam with that lift, but not the correct lobes?? (xfi/x-er) thanks.

 

nope the lobe numbers are for a certain lift...that is why SOM's cam has slightly larger lift...as the durstion goes up so does the lift for a certain style lobe...so an XFI 228 will have less than .612...hope this helps

 

Who'd you order it thru?

 

yes you are correct my cam is on a LSA 111+4 and if installed dot to dot it was on a 107 ICL, and the intake was a hair close for me but others run it no problem at .072 ish...some push down to .050 with those donkey dick cams...so i just retarded it 2 degrees to become LSA 111+2 on a 109 ICL...that is why i recommend that setup as it is a little safer...all it really does it push your peak power up about 100-150rpm...

 

Spliffy names sell cams.

 

This cam is ALOT more then just a spiffy name, it has great results. And it has a fat *** power band and great manners. All i want is a nice streetable 400rwhp/400rwtq cam and this "lEl Torro" should put me there.

 

Keep us informed, I'm looking at that cam also. you're not too far from me(in Boca)

 

yup, i kinda thought about it for just a second, and still am wondering why i asked that question. haha thanks

It must, it's the "EL Torro". It HAS to be bad ***.

There is no "best" cam. It's all about the combo and your goals. Not nearly enough info in this thread about either for anyone knowledgeable to have an opinion.

 

i ordered mine through vengeance racing. however its still sitting im my room.

 

As I have said before, I believe that my cam was Predator Z's predecessor to the el-torro cam. I'm happy with my results although my cam wasn't named.

But the results speak for themself. i wanted a nice Tq curve, and this is what I got. Now on to heads shortly...

 

ok stupid question but i know lower the lsa the more choppy the idle is but since its a 111 + 2 will i still have a choppy idle or will it be a smoother idle?
