what springs to run with asa cam? i just bought an asa cam from sdpc for my 99 z and im wondering what springs to run with it? i was thinking ls6 springs cuz its not a real aggressive cam and i know they will handle the lift but i just cant seem to really find any info about the cam... cam specs are 226/236 Duration @ 0.050 and .525/.525 on a 110 lsa

LS6 springs will work with that cam. If it were mine I would throw in some hardend push rods.

thanks for the help... i was also thinking about hardened push rods too just because its cheap insurance... ive heard that its power band is 2500-6500 so if this is true i was thinking about a yank 3200 or 3600 stall to go along with it..

i might look into that pac springs then because i had thought about 1.8s to get a little more lift out of it but wasnt sure yet. i have 241s on my car will those flow good enough for that cam? ive been looking at getting a set of 243s..

i was drawn to the cam for the simple fact there isnt a whole lot of people that have it plus it sounds good and it shouldnt be hard on the valve train but still make decent power... imo harland sharp or yella terra are the best way to go...

I guess I phrased that poorly. I understand the mathmatics. I guess I was looking at the clarification of why you said 1.8's gave good results with that cam. However, 99% of the time on here, whenever 1.8's come up the general concensus is to "buy a bigger cam" instead of "get 1.8's" to achieve higher lift."

Now if I had to choose between buying this cam + rockers and just a cam with faster lobes, the later would be better, but if you already have the ASA...... get my drift.

Most of the time, people do not understand that 1.8 rockers do not match well with aggressive lobe ramps. This cam has good lobes to match to 1.8 ratio.
