Re: What will this cam change do for my 427 stroker............. Anything with a 112 LSA is going to have a healthy lump to it. Going to a 114 would help. You could even go with a larger cam than that on a 114 LSA and there would be alot less lope.

Wow that is a BIG cam!
I guess you have some rather large valve reliefs built into your pistons right?

What do they consider an appropriate sized cam for a 427 daily driver, pump gas w/ air conditioning? MTI has the S1* 244 244 .612 .612 112 as their biggest cam for 427 + CID. My 427 has a TINY TINY *** cam, the R1* 232 236 .575 .578 114
I have an S1 ready to slap in but would go bigger if it still gave me good streetability, etc.

I'd like to hear a 427 with a 248/252 114 lsa in there.

Re: What will this cam change do for my 427 stroker............. You have opposing goals here 
You want more power and a bigger cam but it will come at a sacrifice of idle. I would leave what you have in there.
It must make pretty good power now with that cam? 470RWHP plus I would think with cats. I wouldnt bother because it wont be worth it power wise without picking up some lope.
Cheers,
Chris

Re: What will this cam change do for my 427 stroker............. My ARE 436 has a 242/242 .612/.612 114LSA in it and it has a nice lump, but not TOO much. It definitely does not idle like stock!
I have been pondering the thought of going with a bigger, split duration, 112LSA cam to see if I could get up over 500rwhp and have it even a bit more mean sounding. I am at 491rwhp/495rwtq right now through ARE Stage3 LS1 heads that were ported a few years back.
If I could be sure I would pick up 10-15rwhp from a change to a larger cam I would go for it as the lope does not bother me at all.
