That helps! I'm not concerned with 1/4 times just want to have a powerful street car so optimal gears/stall don't matter to me. I just don't want to have a dog because of a bad combo. I have 4200/4.10 in my V6 and it was my daily for a couple years after I got that combo. Wasn't bad, but driving my stock Z feels so good I don't want to have another full out race car.

Guys, you'd be surprised how good the gears feel. A 4.10 is the best mod I did to my car. It made the fun factor double.

Me too, but mine's an off the shelf Crane and is +5. Very happy with the results and drivability.

I put down 452rwhp and 408rwtq NA with a set of ported 241 heads and a 224/228 581/588 on a 110 with a 12 bolt rear and 4.30 gears with a Heavy Denny's nitrous ready driveshaft. Not bad for a baby cam-LOL

I must've missed why you want it on such a large LSA. You got a built bottom end?

I like the #'s in your sig, especially the torque! If I got those numbers with my 228/232 and TSP ported LS6 heads I'd be thrilled. I have an LS6 intake on the way so it sounds like I should have a very similar setup. Well, the car goes under the knife next week, we'll see how it goes!!

im running a XE-R lobe 224/228 .581/.588 110+2 cam and put down 370 RWHP. I thought this was damn good for my setup.

Autos are way different than M6's for hp. Also I see you're running the paper filter..any reason for that? I'm guessing you're flowing a few hundred CFM less than your motor needs at peak rpm. Try to dyno again with a K&N or similar...I think you'll be impressed.

well the reason I run the paper filter is simply b/c the K&N type filters just dont "filter" nearly as good. Plus the oil gets on the MAF, and TB. I know its not that much of a thing, but just makes feel better.

I'm running a 224 lunati on a 114 with an A4 and a 5000rpm vigilante converter without much gear for street driving, and when you stomp this thing bam 5000rpm and off, kinda like a stick shift.

I'm going to be doing a cam swap soon, and am thinking about an F14... ( 232/234 598/598 112 lsa)...but am wondering if there is something about that big but with a (very) healthy torque curve...but I also want something that can make good power up to 6000-ish...I don't want to have to shift at like 6900rpm..

So...with my fairly limited knowledge in cams...how would something like a...230/234 600/610 110+4 be?...basically like the 228/232 110+4 mentioned earlier, but a little bigger... and does the lift affect the the power curve much, or mainly the overall amount of pwr/trq made?

And would flycutting the piston be required?

Oh...and one more quick question...What would be a way to improve an F14's torque curve, while keeping it a 232/234?...lower the lsa?... a little different lift?

I've been cosidering the highlift...but I'm only probably ever going to have stock heard, and ls6 intake...with my duals...And the high lift is on intake, right?...Might that be too much for a ls6 intake and stock heads?.../confused

And LSA..would 10+4 of a normal/highlift f14 be good, or just for the one mention earlier in the thread?.. Patrick said +1 or +2 will just give you"weak mid end torque" or whatever...and would it fit?...
