me and my friend are building up his motor
its a stock forged 346
patriot stage 2 6.0 heads 64cc
long tubes
ls6 intake
36 pound injectors
ported throttle body
auto with 3200 stall

now my question is what cam would be best for this combination smog does not matter and input would be appreciated

 

Well, I am not going to be the only one to suggest this to you.....search a little more.
But since you ask I will try my best.

What is the car's primary use?
Daily Driven?

Strip/ Steet/ Auto-X
230/236 - 224/224 - 226/232

And what is a "stock forged" motor? Unless you mean stock cubes.

 

sorry I meant stock cubes forged rods and pistons and it's going to be a more of a drag car

 

Well, what RPM range are you looking to operate in?

 

I was thinkin a f13 but he wants other peoples opinions on what fits his stall and he wants it to operate up to around 6400rpm's it doesnt really matter no higher then 7k

 

So something around a 232-236 duration on like a 114 would probably suit the needs here.

 

OK im "The Friend"

Basically, i want the max performance-But still the driveability of an everyday car if i needed it to be.

Im just haveing a hard time matching the heads and stall to a proper size cam

thanks guys

 

So what cam do you already have? Judging by your sig, you are already cammed.

 

he had a tr224/224 on 114 but thats gone after he spun a bearing

 

anyone have experience witht his cam f14 232"/234" .598"/.598" 114LSA

 

TTT

Need help guys!

Yea i had the TR224 but i spun a bearing and now im ordering a whole new forged short block & trans. But I need help on the cam

Thanks guys

 

What about a reverse split? That will meet your goals. Have you read about the TR230/224 cam? Would still make good power, but maintain good street manners.

Just got off the phone with a tech from SPDC2000
Let me get your guys .02

He recommended a cam called N228

here are the specs
228/236 114 LSA Lift on the intake side 551 and the a 600 in the exhaust


so, watcha guys think?

 

I think it's going to make okay power, but i would not run an exhaust lobe that big unless you plan to spray a 200 shot. I drive my car on the street a lot, and I like to use as much of my power stroke as possible. I wouldn't want my exhaust valve opening so early (236 lobe), needlessly bleeding off pressure too early before bottom dead center.

If you insist on running such a large exhaust lobe, then you could increase the duration on your intake side to not be so heavily exhaust biased. This would allow you more RPM range and theoretically more power potential.

I also wouldn't buy a 114 LSA cam, but that's just me. If I was concerned with overlap, I would just opt for smaller lobes ground closer together.

FWIW, that intake lobe appears to be a little "lazy". I would consider more aggresive profiles.

ok sounds good, thanks for the input. Any other ideas on what cam then?

 

I know you're not asking me again, but I still vote for the 230/224.

Sorry i wasnt specific, i wanted to ask about the lift. Im pretty mind set about the LSA just the lift is a little confuseing. Thanks

 

F13 or F14

 

what do you guys think of the G5x3??
