I got a 99 ls1 z28. Trans come out so I bought a small stall at 2500. I bought the jet Dst laptop tuner. I see a comp 280h cam on craigslist for 150 with lifters. Car has 3.42 rear end. You think this is too much for the stall and rear ratio? Cars is not daily driver but need to keep the DD potential.

a 2400 wont go very far with present day cams. id suggest an 02+ zo6 cam at the most. you could toss a big cam in it but itll be a dog. forget that jet tuning garbage, find someone with hp tuners of efi live and knows how to use it.

A 220/224 112lsa, or up to a 224/224 112lsa at MAX!

youd have to pull the heads to change lifters also so take that into account before you start.

I would go with more converter before thinking about a cam, for a stock cam I'd go with at least 3600 and more like 4000-4200 if you want to get the most out of it.

But if you stick with the 2400 go small on the cam, as was said maybe an 02+ Z06 cam would be a good choice.

Since when does Comp make a 280H for an LS1? I know there is one for Gen I SBC engines, but not for an LS1....since you are also saying with lifters, I suspect you're looking at the wrong application.

if your dead set on that converter,call an expert to spec you something.i had a 3000 stall with a TR220,114lsa that worked great for my combo...
if your not looking for big peak #s there are plenty of small cams out there to work with that converter and gears.

look at a cam pkg from TSP,224r 114 lsa for a budget swap.or consider a small EPS cam.how many miles on the motor?

I would go ls6.. cheap, easy in drivetrain, won't change the way it acts, decent pick up in power.
