So i have a stock ls1 block that i recently slapped some 243 heads not port & polished but dual springs chromemolly pushrods & titanium retainers matched with this cam (224/230 .612/.612 116 lsa) i dont knot much about the cam other then its like a boost cam but can anyone shed more light on it new to ls1s aswell.
Also another question which upgrade would be best used 800$ a fast 102 intake manifold, no tb i can get ebay one, or torque converter plus intstall?
Well & 5 to dyno tune lol

Thanks.

 

Torque converter. This will make everything perform better, current and future. My guess is a 3000-3200 would do nicely for a regular driver with that cam but consult someone that drives automatics daily or a mfg for exact specs.

While exhaust duration bias can be seen as boost-friendly, it doesn't make it a boost cam necessarily. In #1 LS2 in the Jeep(basically just a 6.0 version of what you've put together there, I ran a 222/228 naturally aspirated because I couldn't get long tune LS headers to fit a CJ. With 1-5/8" shorties and 2.5" duals, we put more exhaust duration in to make up for the intake side flowing better than the exhaust. My LSA was a little tighter so your cam will favor a little higher RPM but that should be a real nice cam for 243s.

As I think you hinted in your post, that cam will not only benefit from, but basically require a tune.

 

With the wide LSA it will work fine with a PD blower. Not quite the best for a centri or turbo.

A stall in the 32-4000 range (depending on how you use the car) will make a huge difference.

 

I had a cam for my Turbo similar to this one it's was a good cam but not the best for my application but with a 3600 stall in my th400 it pulled very very hard up top

 

Thanks alot the tune is a necessity amd. i am gonna do it but i wast just seeing what my last upgrade should be tc or intake manifold thabks foe your input

 

Thanks yea he told me 28 to 3200 being rhe best so i didnt know if i went with 3600 if itl be too high or not

 

From 3200 to 3600 you won't notice the difference...so it's almost pointless not to get the higher if you're looking for best performance.

 

Oh okay thanks for the info appreciate it!

 

Don't expect much quality for $800 in a converter - this isn't a good place to save money.

 

Really? What about curcle d & yank they both provide "race" converters from 450 3200 stall on texas speed, circle d has them aswell for 450? On yanks sight they have it listed for 3600 stall at 795?

 

What lol? Most top of the line high quality single disks are under $800 for the 4L60E.

Hell, I bought a $199 revmax converter and beat the living snot out of it for years with a 450rwhp car both at the dragstrip and road course...and it performed like a champ. You can't honestly say with a straight face that a converter costing 4x as much is a "cheapo".

You must be thinking of a different platform alltogether or triple disks.

 

No im thinking ok yank direct from site single disk performance 3600 stall is 750 ...
The guy said no good converters arw around 800 so i disagree and put yank as a example..
Also circle d has them for 450 on there site

 

Exactly. Top of the line manufactures like Yank, Circle D, FTI etc. all have quality converters for $7-800.

Hell, even a $450 one like you mentioned will be more than fine for street and light track duty. You don't need a $1400 triple disk monster to putt around town.
