I'm looking for a cam for new 408 build.
Its a forged interal 408 with stock 243s(heads will later be exchanged out for prc 2.5 5.3's)
Will be spraying in with a 200 shot...

I was thinkin about the texas giant cam..
Lookin for yalls suggestions.

 

get a custom cam by either pat g or predator z you wont be disappointed. they will spec it out for what you have done or plan on doing to the car.

 

Alright...I'll look into that.
Feel free to chime in predatorz and pat g

 

Patrick G charges a fee to spec a cam for your application I believe. Best thing to do is PM him.

 

It all depends on what you want to do with the car.
I've seen a recent 408 with TSP stage 1 heads and an MS4 put down 470 at the wheels but gave up a lot in the lower rpms.

You need to figure out if you want a roll racing drag queen or power under the curve for more of a daily driver street friendly setup. Both Patrick and Pred will ask you what your intended use wil be. I've seen Patrick's questionaire and it's pretty thorough.

You need to know how often you want to change your valve springs, what rpm range you want your power band in. Gears and tires. There is much more than just a couple questions to properly specing out a cam. We've installed anywhere from a 234/240 to a 252/260 in a 408 depending on what the customers application is.

 

its true they are pretty thorough. i got speced a 247/254 from pat g for my 408 and just awaiting on my motor from chris right now. im very curious to see how well it performs.

 

Check my sig. I do have ported 243s. I wanted drivability so went with 114lsa. I should pull 460rwhp min and may do a shot later after I get a built trans...

 

It won't be a daliy driver. But it will be driven on the streets and taken to the strip.
Pretty much a weekend cruiser/strip car.
I've got a 4L80 I plan on running in it.

I'll shoot predator/patrick a pm.
Thanks guys.
