Help me pick a cam.
Help me pick a cam. Well guys, we are changing out the cam for something more friendly, to bring the RPMs down.
Goals for the car: fun street car. Has a th400 with 3.54 gears and a 3200 converter setup for the turbo kit. Motor is a 312 CID
I dont care if i have a little lope, or none at all. These are the ones i'm looking at:
220/220 .551/.551 114 LSA
214/220 .600/.523 115
215/ 223 .604 / .610 112
We want something that has a good powerband, motor is 9.1:1 compression, PRC stage 2.5 ls6 heads (needs new springs, so trying to find something i can get away with my beehives with but looks like everything needs a bigger spring so far), vic jr. intake w/ elbow and 90mm. Current cam is WAYYYY too big at 244/252 for such a small motor. Car will be turbo'd at some point, so peak performance isnt a big deal, and they all should work fairly well with a turbo as well. Just looking for something fun and torquey in the mean time.
