cam question
cam question i have a 2000 camaro ls1 40l60e full exhaust shift kit just picked up a yank ss 4000, and now i just ordered a 233/238 .624 .615 113+2 comp cam comes with push rods dual valve springs, springs, titanium retainers, valves seals, and locks. along with ls2 timing chain and trunion upgrade.
wondering if this setup is going to work pretty good i know i need to upgrade suspension and gears buts its a work in progress, also should i have the tranny built
just trying to get some more opinions cause im kinda worried about the piston valve clearance
thanks josh

It should clear with adequate clearance, might be slightly less than "ideal", but it should be ok. Measuring is always the only way to verify though.
It should work fairly well although a few more degrees advance wouldn't hurt it.

yea thats what im thinkin too, little bigger then i was originally going to go with but thats what i had ordered lol
what about the tranny seen guys run the stock 4l60e with a pretty good amount of hp but im might just have mine beefed up some just to be safe.

I have very similar cam specs @112 and 30thou shaved off heads and clerance is fine. I run 3500 stall and used std 4l60E box for 2years before upgrading to strengthened 4l65E box. You will find your combination will work good. I have run 11.61 @ 118.52 with 3.91 gears.

You think his 10 bolt will out live his 4l60 with a 4000 stall, 400+ rwhp, and any traction at all? I've seen stock 4l60's with decent coolers handle 450rwhp while watching cam only a4's blow 10 bolts several times. I know the transbrake is something to take in consideration but in general, the rear end is the weak link. I know for me personally, the s60 is my next project.

Funny thing is I went through 2 trannies, 2 stalls and 2 motors but still on stock rear with 3.23 gears)
The way one drives has a bearing on dif. life as well as parts)

ok thanks for some of the responses i have already put a trans go shift kit in it, i dont plan on racing it at all until i build the rear end up a little and suspension work cause even right now i hardly get any traction lol
so all in all what you guys think from the most part the cam should be good from what a few of you had said, but the transmission im still unsure im pulling everything in the next few days car does have 110000k and previous 35 yr old lady owned it since 03 with 30k miles and i can tell it hasnt been beaten on its whole life
