Default Predator! Help me!! Cam!!!

254int/258ex
622/622 lift
111 LSA


What would this be like in an otherwise stock (I know I'll need supporting mods) LS6.
Is this too big?
Please help soon.
Need some help, Predator!!!!

Too big for what? You need to tell him what you want out of a cam, and if you want a 7500+rpm cam that would fit you perfect if you could fly-cut enough out of your pistons without making holes in them.

Alright
Nevermind
You answered it enough for me
Ugh
It was a good deal too.
No, I don't want to have to flycut. I figured I'd be able to squeeze by staying under 650 lift

The duration is what will dictate having to flycut, the lift isnt the major factor.

net lift is not what decides if cam fits or not. It is tappet lift and that is a whole other story.
That cam is a stroker grind, too big for stock cubes.
But yeah, what are your goals for the car? Cam only?

So what would be a good cam then?
Yes, cam only, MAYBE heads DOWN THE ROAD
I do want it to lope real, real, REAL good. That's my only stipulation. Well, and to make more power. I don't care about peak numbers

I like this one

It would even be more powerful with 243 heads/M6 and your increased compression.
12* overlap means nice powerful lope (I would say ~ 430rwhp)
