I'm buying a cam for my 2001 z28 m6.

I'm thinking about a larger cam 238/244 or 242/244. My camaro is not a DD anymore, only sees summer time. The car is used for car events, cruising and of course the track!!!

so I would like to know a couple of things:


what size cam are you running?
what hp do you peak?
what rpm is your powerband in?
how is the drivability (rpm surging, engine idle/dying etc)?
do you wish your cam was smaller or larger?


Thanks guys, its greatly appreciated!

 

I like both those cam sizes, probably a 110lsa?

 

What you mean with that the 2 cams he mentioned are only durations @ 0.50 i think but the lift on them?

 

stock

 

If I ever get it running it is the MS4.

 

I am running the TR228R for now, but I am going bigger to the MS4

 

I"m getting ready to buy the ms4. anyone know what kind of 1/4 times people are seeing with this cam?

 

Tomorrow I'm putting the Speed Inc. SI5 in.231/237 .589/.595 112 LSA.
Crystal Lake, huh,I'm in Lake In The Hills.

 

I'm on the edge of lith and algonquin off randall. still considered crystal lake.

if you have ever been to the CL downtown car shows I'm sure you have seen my car. a pewter z28 with black racing stripes!


i was looking at the SI5 and or maybe the SI7 if I dont go with a custom grind!
but it also depends on where I buy from too!

 

i ran all the LG-motorsports cams. g5x1,x2,x3 and x4 the x4 being the big one(i think 240 244dur) i had no troubles driving it on the street and performed whenever i needed it. car is a m6 w/4.11's.

 

that is definitely helpfull hearing a bigger cam does well for driving!..

do you remember that rpms your powerband was in..

in ex: 2000-6400 or 2400-6200 or 1500-5000.. etc?

 

i'm sure there is a few more cammed m6 cars out there!

 

this was my old cam...

F13. 230/232 ~.595 lift on both sides. 112lsa.
i wanna say it peaked at 6400.
powerband was 2400 to ~6600 rpms.
idled perfect @ 900 rpms. no surging/dying, ever. 22/27mpg with heads + bolt ons + gears(4.10's)
to be honest i thought it was the perfect cam. not too big, not too small. trapped 123mph in warm weather!

 

G5X2 and now a G5X4. Not a DD but just a weekend/toy car. I am DD for a week since I haven't had the car out in 3 months and my Grand Cherokee is slow, need a little speed this week.

 

I am going a bit smaller with the F10. I got some < 100 mile LS6 heads for $350 and want to make the most out of the valvesprings, etc. So a porting job, that cam, LS6 intake, Pacesetters, TNT F1......

 

thanks for some more posts and info guys!

 

I'm running the MS3/PRC 5.3 combo. The HP curve flattens out after 6200 but that might be because of the injectors are maxed out. She has a little surging around 1500 RPM in 2nd and 3rd but other than that it runs awesome. Mine is a daily driver and we are re-dynoing it tomorrow. With a base tune from TSP it put down 423/385. It has been completely gone thru by Bluecat and we'll see tomorrow

 

TR230/224
385rwhp (cam and bolt ons)
it starts at 2500 and likes to stop just past 6700
drivability is great, the tune makes all the difference
neither, i did some research before making that desicion

 

i just installed the ms4 and i can drive it all day even un tunned but it needs to hurry up and learn its idle but other than that its awsome

 

anyone ever go as large as:

244/248 612/615 114 lsa
