Help with cams
Looking at lingenfelter cams.
I am swapping in a 5.3 into my 94, so the cam will be going in that.
I am looking at these
GT2-3 207 / 220 .571" / .578" (1.7 ratio) 118.5 centerline
GT7 208 / 230 .554" / .546" (1.7 ratio) 121 centerline
What I want from the car:
Idle like stock, sound like stock, and drive good. I want good low and medium range torque, with decent HP.
Anything over 350 at the wheels N/A, i would be MORE than happy (with full boltons of course)
Now, part of the reason for looking at these, is I am later going to turbo it with probably 10PSI or so.
So, wondering what you guys thought about these?
The other option, would be the TR224 on a 116.

i doubt it. and its his own custom grind. just take the specs to a sponsor or call up comp cams and theyll grind it for you. no need for off the shelf cams when a custom grind does a better job to fit exactly what you want, with zero or minimal extra charge ($20 for a few places)

i know they provide custom grinds for the same price as an off the shelf
also for that cam, what ICL? edit: nvm, saw he said plus 2, meaning a 111 ICL

-11 degree overlap, no lope, it is setup with your future turbo in mind, but it will be nice and torquey NA,
Specs are:
Comp Cam lobes
Intake # 3711R
Exhaust # 3710R
113 LSA
111 ICL
I recommend PAC 1518 springs with that cam
Degreing the cam and measuring for pushrods as well.
0 PTV issue on stock heads, gasket.
