238/244 Cam help 238/244 .605/.612 110 Lsa cam wondering if this would be a good choice for a stock Ls1? This is going into my 97 camaro that previously had a 234/242 .575./.595 LT1 cam that now will be sporting a LS1 its not a DD more of a toy that will be driven on nice days to local shows, track & Club gatherings.
I'm Also wondering if i go with a cam this big is there any other upgrades i should consider besides the Must have springs & pushrods? Thanks for the help

what do you man by "stock"? you had better have the basic bolt-ons before you put the cam in.
thats a BIG cam for stock cubes.
your heads are really gonna limit your power. you could go smaller and have a more freindly ride and still make almsot the same power.
other things to replace would be the oil pump and timing chain.

Naw i don't mean bone stock, Motor will have LT headers, ud pulley, catback with cutout, 4.10 gears ect...
The ride really isnt a issue since it's not a daliy driver so as long as it's tuned properly it shouldn't be any worst then the 234/242 cam i previously had.
What kind of Rpm can the stock motor spin up to? and what kind of limits do i have with the stock heads?
What other cams should I look at?

With upgraded rod bolts there are guys spinning 7K-7100. I wouldn't expect it to last a real long time like that though. All of the intakes shy of a single plane start to drop off after 6800rpm I think. The stock heads are going to limit you quite a bit. You should do a search for Cam Only numbers in the dyno section and then compare to the same cam after heads were installed.

I did a search for the cam and it's not mentioned alot. Was looking at smaller more popular cams but not sure if i should look for a cam with more low end/mid range power or a cam with more top end increase. Eventually heads will be added it just a matter of how soon and what brand/size heads to choose from! Theres so many options in the LS world compared to the LT world so it's hard to decide lol
wow, why are people going with donkey dick cams all the time. Go with something smaller, cus with that cam youll be changing springs every 30,000 miles, not to mention a shitty *** DD

Im new to the LS world so the only way to learn is to ask & search and the search feature didn't help me in this case.
