I have a comp cam 224/228 with a 581/588 lift. I was just wondering what the RPM range is on this cam and what everyone sets their rev limiter at. Just curious about this because my car doesnt seem to pull the way it should.

 

Probably around 2-6.5k powerpand, would set the limiter to 6800.

what other mods do you have-could be something else

 

full exhaust, hooker super comps tru duals, and all the bolt-ons, comp 918 springs, comp chromoly rods, gmpp lifters, oil pump, ls6 intake. The spec sheet on the cam said good to 7000 rpm

 

A higher LSA will carry higher and also affect shift points.

 

well I guess it is good to 7000rpm I wouldnt rev that high though if I were you. I set my limiter at 6500 even though my cam would love to rev way past that.

 

u should check into the caddi racing lifters. they are at a great price for a good set proven to 8k

 

After about 6300 I wouldn't think you are doing yourself any good, it's pretty much standard for 224/228 cams. Some companies advertise the it's good to 7k, some say it's good to 6100. The average tuner setting shift points in an auto wouldn't carry it out that far looking at the dyno sheet

 

x2,we usually set the rev limiter to 6500 on cars with a 224 cam,no sense in killing it,generally it take a cam in the low 230 range to make power at 7000

 

Granted i'm sure this is a stock cube application but what bothers me about all the replys... nobody bothered to ask what cube it was. Something that would greatly effect the rpm band of this cam. Having done this very thing for a living...it would have been my first question......not to mention we don't know the lsa, which will effect the range and how quickly the power will peak within that range.

 

^BAH BLAH BLAH!!! Every thread Ive been in tonight youve had your panties all in a wad for nothing...CHILL!!!!!

Now as for the thread, I wouldnt push a cam like that past 6400

 

Typical post from a kid....If you don't know what information to base your answers on...it's wrong information.
