226/226 cam
226/226 cam i am going to be getting a 226/226 585/585 112 cam for my 98 z28 and was wondering what else i will need for the cam swap. what will it require valvetreain wise. what type of power would u expect from this type of cam ia m told 50-70hp and good mid range and upper end. this will be my first perf. cam and wnat to do it right. how will it react with the spray. i have a 100 dry shot thanks for all input
the spray should work fine...as i can see its not a reverse split cam...get some dual valvesprings and hardened pushrods even a set of titanium reatainers....you hsould see some good power with that cam...just remember to go bigger than what you want...i thought my 224/227 114lsa was good now im going with a 236/238 .601/.605 112lsa...
i have a very similar cam but with slightly more exaust duration. for valvetrain i used 918 springs and hardened PR's. everything else stayed stock. run's great, good mid range and a very flat torque curve.

looks like the patriot cam. With our (stage1) ls1 heads/ls6 intake/bolt ons, I have seen 400-420rwhp. Stock heads/bolt ons, usually around 365-380. very mild and docile cam with tune.

You should see 30>40 rwhp tuned with headers.
Will work fine with even a 150 dry shot (not to be done unless you have fuel and tune to support).
It is a comp XE-R lobed cam, you'll like it.
You need 7.40 push rods and 918's

I've got the GTP 226 cam. Just a little more lift. Look at the patriot spring kit. You can get dual springs, Ti retainers, locks, seals, and seats for less than the 918s w/Ti retainers.
