Max effort cam for not DD
Max effort cam for not DD Is there a Max effort cam out that does not sound like a ProStock car ?
I do not drive my car daily and do not rely on it for back and forth to work.
I would like to swap the cam at the same time i am changing the heads.
I have a set of 243's with a little port/polish work ,they also have PRC dual springs and titanium retainer w/proper locks already installed.
Currently with the stock cam i have a PT4000 stall and 3:42's and drive w/ drag radials ,never on reg street tires. (315/35/17's)
I am going to try and run quicker N/A with H/C than with my previous best on the bottle w/ stock internals.(11.46@118 1.54 60ft w/ Vig 3600 stall)
i just don't want to have the guy at the light next to me counting my cylinders as they fire,if ya know what i mean.
G5x4 and the F14 seem to make good power and have a broad RPM range,i just would like something that "might" pass the sniffer emissions test as we are moving to TN this summer and i would hope to be able to put plates on it for street use while still running real strong too.
I need your opinions, i am going cross eyed looking at all the venders info and reading countless posts about cam selection.
All current mods are in sig.
TIA

dont know what to tell you other than youre going to have a hard time finding a ''max effort'' cam that doesnt lope. I went max effort n/a on stock cubes...ended up with an ms4 slid in there.
Got any track times w/ that cam?
I don't mind some lope,not at all. i should have said i would like it not to sound like the Trex at idle,sorry for that.
I think i can get the power and performance i want with out giving it away before the "stop light nationals" even begin.
I just need some recommendations to help me out.
Thanks

my cam is a 111lsa and a trex is a 110 so if you dont want it sounding like the trex then the ms4 is not for you. but I got it in the 11's i dont have a slip and I forgot the time but I did run a 7.80 in the 1/8th with a 6speed and spinning almost half track.

people on these boards are running 11's with a 224/224 with a nice set of heads... just because a cam is bigger doesnt always meen that your going to make huge power. its gonna come down if you can hook with the power you make. i have a 224/224 on a 112 lsa but i havent installed it yet (i live in chicago so theres no point right now) but ill post results when tracks open... honestly look around and search b/c everyperformance part isnt going to perform like someone elses.

Vindicator Cam. Its ground on a 112, and has a few degrees of advance ground in as well. There is a member here on the boards that ran an 11.71 through a 6 speed, and that was with just a cam and upgraded springs/pushrods. No heads, no manifold, just headers and minor bolt ons. I think with a set of ported heads, there was another member that ran in the tens, all motor, with the same cam and I believe he was using a stalled auto.

With the setup in my sig that included an MS4 and stg 2 ls6 heads i was running low 11's to high10's hooking well. A max effort cam is going to lope. But the ms4 is an excellent cam, i am using it in my 402 build that is under way!
Alot of support for the MS4 so far.
Well you're asking for a lot here. First off, there's no MAX EFFORT cam that is not going to have a lope. Second, the largest cam that I know of to have passed emissions would be a 224 cam and that's no where near MAX EFFORT. Both the cams you listed above with the G5X4 and the F14 both have lope to them. The combination you're seeking is just not really possible. You're MAX EFFORT would be the biggest cam you can run and pass emissions and not have a large lope to it would be the 224 cams.

This is what i found Davidson, Hamilton, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson counties, as well as those registered in Memphis, will have to undergo emissions testing before they can be registered or have their registrations renewed.

with my z06 I was running 11.6s with 1.7 60 foot times cam only with a regular f14. The f14 is a great performing cam, and it also works well for a dd car. If I went back to a 346 setup I would run the f14 highlift cam.
