Lunati 237/242 112 is too small recommendations?
 
I have a truck obviously by my sig. I am running a 3200 stall but it flashes to 3900 and when I leave in 4hi on the street back when the trans wasnt slipping it would spin all four for about 15 feet. My current cam is a Lunati 237/242 .595 .595 112lsa in my 418. I have full bolt ons with dynatech headers and an ORY so air flow isnt a problem. I also have DART 205s on it which will soon be swapped for a set of 225s with a full competition port job and dual springs. I am thinking somewhere in the high 240 range with 630 ish lift but I am no cam expert. This motor is going to get a shit load of nitrous sprayed on it as soon as I get my progressive controller and fueling lined out. There isnt alot of experience on the truck side with strokers and larger cams than what I already have. I am going to be pulling the motor this summer for a rebuild with better rings and I will be putting the new DARTs, a fast 90/90 combo on there and a larger cam and the cam is the only thing I havent figured out yet. I am going to an 80e as soon as my tax return is in and will be going with a trans brake and a 3600 brake stall converter so Im looking for max top end power. I will spin the motor as high as it takes for the best times.

You're fuckin nuts. :D

Maybe something the size of the T-rex or a little bigger... 24x/25x ?

I don't see a point in going much bigger, since you have a heavy truck.

Nah Im not nutts just like beating on cars that think that Im just another loud redneck truck:D

The turbo lexus ES300 didnt know what hit him last night:cool:

Anymore recommendations I was thinking of the t-rex but all I saw was the V2 one and those specs arent worth swapping cams for.

Why dont you contact Ed Curtis @ EDC and have him spec you out a custom cam? :nod:
He is a sponsor --------> :)

The sponsor list banner is gone to the right:confused: I just noticed that.

NM it shows up on the main screen.

Got off the phone with an engine builder from a speed shop I deal with. It seems they want me to put a 244/248 .633 .633 113lsa. That sounds pretty good to me but with only 7*s difference in duration and 4 one hundreths of an inch lift IDK. I was really thinkin more along the lines of a 248/253 mid 600s on a 113 or so for the nitrous. Any cam experts have any input on this size cam.
