Cam selection.. take a look
Cam selection.. take a look anyone using a trickflow cam? I never see anyone talking about them..
i was looking at a few but i dont know what kind of lobe they use, here are some ones i was thinking of:
(these are summit part#'s)
TFS-30602002 220/224 .575/.575 112*
TFS-30602001 216/220 .560/.560 114*
TFS-30602003 228/230 .585/.585 112* (not sure i like this)
my other options were
Thunder's TR224 224/224 .563/.563 112* (only i dont like is the price of this cam)
or
Lunati LUN-60511 222/228 .567/.567 113*
supporting mods include... headers, ported 241 heads, 4.10 gears, Spec 3+ clutch, LS6 intake, TSP catback, ORY,lid, hardend pushrods.. and im using brand new 04 Z04 springs (have an orange stripe, i was told would handle .580 lift?)
i dont want a cam above 230.. im not a drag racer.. i want power and a nice power curve..not after 4000rpms.. my opinion is bigger is not better.. and i dont want big donkey dong dyno #'s... i will only take the engine to 6200rpms since its a 98..
overall purpose of the car is some street use (not a daily) and about 1 road racing event a month...(average rpm road racing is in the 3-4000rpm range)
all comments and suggestions welcome..

TR 224 is a great choice. Let TR know your CR. If you are at 11:1 then 3 degrees advance will give you nice power everywhere. If you are a bit over 11:1, then 2 degrees will be enough.
If you opt for smaller, personnally I'd get a TR 220/220 112 with zero advance. the 216/220 on a 113 LSA with no advance would work.
I'd ask TR about the spings. If their ramps are too steep, you can use XE lobes.

if your spring load is higher then cam lift then should be no problem, I would not use springs if they are close to max lift I would bump up spring load then. to be safe .250 to max spring load for my likings.
