Big cam in Cam Only ls1 So is the biggest cam used on Cam only ls1's the T-ReX?And just out of curiostiy how fast and how much power has been made with that cam?
I have an 02 Trans Am th400 4500 stall full suspension 3000#s with driver cam only but I think my cam is a lil different than the T-Rex..
Any info is appreciated..Thanks

i do believe that the t-rex was designed for use with the stock heads...
and no, i think the ls1 would benefit from more duration on a tighter lsa-type cam vs. the t-rex, i guess we'll find out

T-rex is designed to WORK with stock heads, but by adding heads to the setup, you will gain power just like any other cam. Main reason that people say that its designed to work with stock heads is that it still has PTV clearance without flycutting the pistons. That statement is very misleading.

The TRex is the largest you can fit without flycutting. I believe a 250/254 on a 108 would require flycutting. If you went with the TRex you could get a "cheap" set of CNC LS6 heads from TSP and probably see close to 440 rwhp. It sounds like you already have your weight, suspension and stall prepared for a large cam, so I'd go for it!

You can always flycut the pistons. If you are having it installed I don't think they will charge you that much more to flycut (maybe 200 bucks). I may be wrong, but that's what I've heard from a few people.

same valves, springs etc. you MIGHT be able to get by with a bit more because the lq4's have a dished piston somewhat.
