Default Yeah, another cam thread

The cam that I installed I have never really been happy with. Now part of it is the centerline is way off, so using this as excuse to replace the cam. Having a hard time deciding between similar cams

Tick SNS2 - 227/235/110+3
CM Titan 4 - 227/232/113+4
VRX4 - 228/230/112+4

And then wondering if I should just go a bit bigger into the 230-235 range. Like tick street heat3 or Titan 5

I'm keeping compression at 10.6. Ported 241 heads 5.7 bottom end. 1-7/8 Long tubes. BBK 85mm intake. Though I'm tempted to junk the heads for better while in there

I'd like to keep the mid range pull I have but carry power better up high instead of dying after peak.

Thanks

So you wanna have peak hp and carry power better? Ed Curtis rings a bell.

It's the one in my sig.

Squalor, I probably will but its the weekend and I'm in the middle of traveling, so I dropped the idea out there to see what opinions I get. I've never read anything unfavorable about any of those cams

the TITAN IV and VR cams arent that big of a leap from what you have now. The tick would be good but as you said I wouldnt be scared of going into the low 230's. Check out the titan V or even the sns stage 2 for an ls2 I think its on a 231/235. Another great option is ed curtis' hellraiser 229/236 but it makes some nasty power

If you want to keep your mid-range, and increase pull up top I'd recommend the 231/235 .625/.605 111+2 LS2 version.

With it's later IVC event it will carry added torque further into the operating range than the LS1 version and its earlier IVC event.
