does anyone have problems w/ their engine w/ a 224 cam? i am getting a 224/224 .114 cam on my '02 m6 camaro. i am buying hardened pushrods, new retainers new rocker arms, dual springs, and having it dyno tuned w/ ls1 edit. is their any longevity problems w/ this cam?? is there anything that i should expect to go wrong besides the clutch lol. and also, do i have to be more careful on warming the car up?? thanks for the advise

Re: does anyone have problems w/ their engine w/ a 224 cam? I let my new engine with a 224 cam warm up to full operating temperature before I even raise the tach over 1500 rpm. After all the cash I just spent, it's not worth it. I'll take the time. As far as longevity, I only have 1000 miles on it. I'm using ISKY 295 springs.

Why are you getting new rocker arms?

Re: does anyone have problems w/ their engine w/ a 224 cam? You guys let your cars get to full operating temperature before driving the things? Sheesh, talk about wasting gas. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I get in my B1 cammed / Isky295D spring'd car, turn it on, pull out of the garage, and go. Yes, I keep it to under 4000 RPMs until the oil pressure drops (motor's warm), but there's no need to be ridiculous about it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Hard to keep it to 2000 RPMs with 4.56 gears. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
