Cam gurus, how would this cam work?
Cam gurus, how would this cam work? I have a sbe 346 in a 98 Camaro drag car. It currently has:
1-3/4" Kooks LTs with true duals dumped under seats
milled 241s
el torro 230/230 cam
LS6 intake and chris1313 ramair
underdrive pulley
glide with 5500 stall 8" converter
4.86 gear
275/60 radial
The pistons have been flycut .080.
I'm soon switching to fully ported 799 heads and fast intake. I'm not afraid to turn 7000+ rpm. May possibly throw a 100-150 shot at it, but it I'm NOT trying to set it up for NOS.
the car should weigh around 3100-3150 without driver
My question is how would this cam work with the new setup?
236/244, .618/.621, 110+3 lsa
What's everyone's opinions?

i'm only asking how this specific cam would work with my proposed combo. I'm not "in the market" for a new cam, just thought this one was a good deal and might be worth some e.t./mph over my existing cam.

since elevated RPMs of drag car, little more stable specially if considering spray

I'm switching over to a turbo combination this fall so I don't want to put a lot more money in this setup, that's why i was interested in this cam that i mentioned, because it's for sale cheap. I'm not setting the car up for nitrous, I'm setting it up to run all it will run on motor in the 1/8th, then may spray a small shot on top of it, with the understanding that it will not be the optimal NOS setup.
I misread something. I was looking at the 230/230 thinking something else. Yeah, the 236/244 is going to run better all motor AND on spray. it's won't be a good turbo cam, but you are already considering new stuff for turbo anyway. You'll want to verify PTV on the 236/244 cam - especially the intake side. Mine is 237/245-112.5+2, and I had 0.080" clearance. That cam is on a 110 LSA and +3 advance, so you're going to be tighter than mine.
Daily driving will be rougher, but I get the feeling you're not too concerned with it.

This whole setup will come out when I do the turbo, replaced by something 5.3 based.
Also, my pistons are flycut .080 so hopefully that will give me clearance. Guess I better measure just in case.
Thanks.
