CheaTR Cam?
CheaTR Cam? I have ordered a forged 347 and I am considering this cam. I need to smog this car before June so a bigger cam and long tubes will have to wait. My question is will this cam like headers? Or will I have to change the cam and headers at the same time? Thanks for your help

Not to hijack but hows the idel with that cam i know its a high lsa is it very stock like idel with minimal effort? This cam seems like its excellent for headers since it can make stock manifold look good.

1)What are the specs on the cam?
2)What did you gain?

Verdad Gallardo I haven't been on the dyno, so I'm not sure what I gained. The specs are 215 230 601 579 117.5
The idle sounds almost dead stock at 850 rpm.
When you lower it to about 650 it has a noticeable chop.
Most people don't realize it has a cam.
Times in sig were before cam install.
So far it has been 11.77 @ 114

on that 11.77 with the cheatr what gears did you have and size of wheel and what tires...
i have been thinking of this cam since it is quiet but i dont really care about my hp numbers, i want to be into the 11.XX with a 4000 stall, boltons, Cheatr, and BFG or Nitto DRs on my 17" SS wheels.

No cam needed.
You don't need a stall that high to get into the 11's. I did it with a 3600, and the 1.69 60ft I got was with nitto's. If you want to get in the 11's without a cam, you will need to lighten it as much as possible. Get some good 60ft's and have real good weather.
