Low and midrange torque are a trucks best friend.
This will be more of a daily driver type setup than an all out eek out the last hp setup also.

i was under the impression turbo was asking about the cam specs and the 409 was going into an fbody

I might look at putting it in straight up or +2 depending on folks results.

I think the S1 would be perfert for good n/a power and spraying a 100-200 shot here and there!
I am going with this cam 244/248 .610/.614 112lsa
in my 408 when I get this damn thing together

Thanks guys
been thinking of a custom cam for the past few months and thats what I came up with. My goal is 520+rwhp with dual cut outs after the headers and 700+ on spray. Not sure if this cam will get me there but I am gonna try!!!
yeah i am also building my own motor.
good luck turbo

Thanks buddy, please email when you get it done I would definately like to know. Since basically I will be doing the samething you are. I would like to net around 700 on spray too. Whos heads and fuel system are you going with? Possibly email me if you could?

I will definately post the results of this 408 on motor and spray once I get this together
I am going with stage 3 GTP 5.7l heads still not sure on the valves...
and for fuel I still havent decided if I am gonna run a seperate fuel cell or do twin 340 intank pumps?
I already have a 340 intank and going with svo 30lb injectors along with ls1speeds high flow fuel rails.
How about you?

I am runing a TR 236 and 36 lb injectors, counting on the new intake's coming out soon to balance out the top end. This is with GTP stage 2 heads and a LS6 crank. I ran the QTP 1 7/8 long tubes as well. Very drivable and i am happy with the setup..

I had two different cams in my 422ci, first was 242/242/114 Lunati and the second one was a 244/244/112 S1. The first came idled much better than the second.
I think a 244/248/112 will idle pretty bad, and might need to idle around 1100. I could not get my S1 to idle lower than 1050.
Personally I would do a 114 LSA just for the better idle quality.

PSJ I bet that S1 made some nice power!?
I have thought about the 114 lsa but from what I have been hearing is that it wont make as much power on motor is that true?
I know the 114 would be a little better with a big shot
I am not too worried about how it idles since I dont drive the car everyday and its pretty much going to be my race car/weekend cruiser so as long as its fast thats all that matters

how much rwhp rwtq is your car making?

How big a shot are you spraying?
I think unless you are spraying a 300 shot or bigger I would just spec the cam for NA but have a little wider LSA.
ie: 240/240 114LSA would idle like stock at 900rpm. With the added compression it would make crazy torque too.
