Cam for L92 Heads: Lessons Learned
These specs are from the CF website, its the spinmonster cam, it seems to put out very good numbers.
230 234 cam
230 intake duration on an XFI lobe .612 lift
234 exhaust duration on an XER lobe .598 lift
114 lobe separation angle
2 degrees advance ground in

Im doing a lq4 with ls3 heads and intake and was wondering how one of these two cams would work?
231/234 .643"/.598" 111 LSA
232/234 .595/.598 112 lsa
I have used the first cam in a ls1 and loved it. Just wondering how it would work with the low compression lq4 with ls3 heads.

You can take ~.040 off the heads to help CR. Any more will give you fit problems on the intake manifold because it narrows the V wedge between the heads.

Virginia Speed is a great choice. They are the only ones who were able to help me fix my combo, LS3 topend, 408, and turboed, street car here looking for 800+rwhp.
Talk to Shawn at Virginia Speed.
I have used 4 other sponsors on here trying to fix my combo with no luck. Cams, intakes, tunes, turbos, everything in the car and I have had the best results with Virginia Speed.

). I still need to build my 4L80 and swap it in before I get too crazy with the boost. Running a methonal kit and plan to run 100% methonal threw it. I also will be running 100% racing fuel at 10psi and above. I plan on running lots of timing in this thing so fuel has to be good.
Running on a Speed Density Open Loop tune.
My setup is weak compared to what they build. They make some very killer stuff there. I know they regularly build stuff over twice the power levels of my goals. I have alot of respect for them and their work. My customer service experience has been great with these guys too.
Compression is 10.25:1, I have not finished tuning it. I am waiting on my smaller AR turbine housing to get here. It should be here Monday or Tuesday I think. If the new housing fixes my lag problem then I will start tuning it over again. I have yet to raise the boost over 5psi. Once the lag is fixed I will work it up to a humble 15psi (or were ever I wim

Wish I had a jet, I would shoot over and go to lunch too. Some day I plan on taking the family to DC on vacation. Might get a chance to drop by their place then.
I was wondering the same thing, but I'm sure it has to do with the weight of the LSX versus the aluminum block. I had talked to the guys at ERL and liked what they had to say about sleeving an aluminum block. I have decided to dry-sleeve my LS1/LS6 block for the "stealth" factor and the weight savings over an iron 6.0L and the LSX.

guys what do you think about this...i have a lq4,ls3 heads, and a vic jr intake(carb) ive been trying to get a feel for a cam, i would like to see atleast 550 fwhp+ i plan on milling heads as much as possible. so friday i called texus speed to get a recommendation from them...they recomended
http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...=1055&catid=44
according to them i'm very limited because of comp and ptv and stated that if i went bigger i'd have to flycut and and would loose more comp and it would be a wash....
now comp got back to me and gave me this
http://www.compcams.com/Cam_Specs/Ca...csid=1090&sb=2
even smaller....
carcraft did a test with the the next cam up from the one comp suggested and made 551 hp but alot of people say it will have poor driveability...
any ideas car is a nova with a t56 weighing 3350 w/driver. so far i'm leaning towards the texas speed cam....but would like options...
