Mr. Sir

what cam specs would yield a cam that displayed no bucking/surging with a stock converter (ls1 f-body), yet would still generate pathetic power until 5000 rpm, peak at 6100-6300, then fall of fast. I guess it doesn't really have to fall that fast after peak, but it would be best if it did. This thread's more for entertainment, but might have some technical use (if you have a stupid ricer friend with an ls1 who wants the ULTIMATE cam). The peak power would have to be respectable to trick the silly little ricer into thinking the cam was desirable, as would the manners with stock converter. What I'm really looking for is:
peak power
good manners (no surging/bucking)
minimized area under the curve
and MAYBE good throttle response. since this one's related to DCR, which also increases area under the curve, I'm okay if good throttle response can't be achieved.

I originally thought about asking Pat G, but realized he'd simply laugh at me and go about his business. It's unfortunate that it requires someone with good understanding of valve events to correctly answer this question.

Anyway, feel free to comment, bash, etc.

so why the hell would you ask us????

it doesn't matter who it is, i wouldn't intentionally set a person up for failure

Maybe I'm an *** hole... There are plenty of people I would do this to.

**Disclaimer... Not to someone I have an argument with on here and then answer one of their questions.
I'm talking people I know personally in life that have pulled some things on me. If I had a chance, I would do it and laugh the entire time when they run 14.XX @ 101mph cam only. I know plenty of ex "friends" that deserve this.

Mr. Sir

...no. I genuinely want to know if this is possible.

I didn't have anyone in mind, the ricer part is just one of many creative uses for you, the people. This thread was more a product of curiosity, and the lack of capability to spec such a cam myself.

ok here is an example, 243 intake/ 202 exhaust .624/.498 108LSA that could do your job

LSL lobe intake, stock lobe exhaust

Mr. Sir

Why thank you. Anyone else?

A 248/ 263 .710/.736 on a 98.3758lsa and one of those hard to find pristine ls1 intakes (98) is the best....also need to swap out the stock MAP sensor for a Corvette MAP. (15 extra HP right there). Then swap the stock exhaust manifolds for the 01 truck manifolds.....don't worry, the computer can read the o2 sensors and adjust everything...no need to waste you money on one those dumb tune things.

It might buck a little at first, but give it a few hundred miles and the computer will fix it so it smooths out

First time you turned the key.... The pistons would move about .0005" and be dead.

how about a 260 and 670 plus lift intake and exhaust on a stock ls1 with a stock intake it would never reach its power band LOL
nor would it ever idle worth a damn and if on a auto car it would be hell to drive

Mr. Sir

...somehow I figured the thread would drift in this general direction. Well, keep em coming anyway.

Have someone re grind a stock cam and give it about a 106 lsa and add some duration.

Or you could take his car and just pull a vacuum line so it sounds like a sweet cam.

Silly question, silly answers.

or you could pull a coil pack plug...sounds sweet for a 4 banger

Give him a hotcam...sounds much bigger than it is, will give enough seat of the pants feel to make him think he is really fast, but not near as much as he thinks, and will work with a stock stall.

garygnu

take a look at comp cams camquest to find a cam that mite meet you need.or get a mild TSP or thunder racing cam pkg .
