i'm hoping to find a sound clip or even some feedback on how it drives.....this is the one i'm settled on, but i want to know what to expect

That's probably a fantastic cam. Most people consider that a moderate cam, and I think most could agree a cam in that range is preferrable for a mostly street car. The LSA will also help determine it's characteristics.. Do you know the LSA of that cam? I'm willing to bet it's a 112LSA cam. Also, who makes it?

the LSA he recommended was 110 with 3*......i explained that i don't really care about going fast on the highway, but i want more of a torque monster that sounds amazing.....the only racing i ever do is 1/8 mile, other than that i drive like an old lady.....i don't know alot about cams, with what i have learned i believe his recommendation is perfect.....it is made by comp cams on LSL lobes, so i'm thinking it would be best to go with dual springs.....can't wait to hear this thing chopping in my driveway

Sounds like an overall great cam. Be sure to get an LS2 timing chain, and some hardened pushrods minimum also.

^^that and i'm gonna upgrade the oil pump as well

That's a good cam choice. The LSL lobes are fairly smooth, so you shouldn't have any driveability issues as long as your tuner is competent. W/ your mods, expect 410-415rwhp/400-405rwtq.

when i do eventually get around to adding heads, i won't be able to put just any set on because of the high lift, right?......which ones would be good?...5.3's, ls6's?

Damian

Lift is the last thing on the list concerning PTV clearance or choosing heads. Duration, ICL and LSA are what determines most of it. That being said, you'll have plenty of options when it comes times for heads. That cam isn't huge by any stretch.

I wouldn't stress PTV clearance on that cam, BUUUUT it's always something you want to check. Especially when you get some milled heads with higher compression. Just do some searching, and lots of reading on here.

I'm planning on running this particular cam as well. Hopefully, I will be able to post some results soon.

Over-torque

will the PAC 1518 work with this cam? it is exactly what i want for my LS6. but i want to run a beehive spring.

PREDATOR-Z

Yes PACs will do fine.

what's the difference in performance between double and beehive.....don't you have to change beehives out after so many miles?....why would someone choose one over the other?

PREDATOR-Z

To have the lightest moving mass in the valvetrain is the best. Duals are a bit more forgiving and safe, but properly installed beehives at correct height will outperform due to less negative harmonics.

racecar

I specd a 228/234 for my friends 2000 C5. It idles good, has great mid range, and at WOT it is strong. That is a great cam. I have a 233/239, it's more of a race cam, a little rough on the idle, a little stronger at high rpm.
Your 227 should be perfect.
