Its hard to say w/o knowing much else on your motor but it should be torquie within the stock rpm range.

our v3 is slightly bigger in a few areas, but would still work well with the stock stall if that is your plan...feel free to call the shop at 817-750-2000 to discuss things, Chris

I'm going to give that a try in a stock bottom end LS1 with 243 heads...but I'm using 26918 beehives. Yea...I know...but I am not the first to use these springs with this cam. They work well with it. If I go to the light valves, I'm really golden.

Ive used that cam with the new 918s on probably 4-5 engines now. Great all round cam!!.

It made 46hp on the 5.3L I out it in last time on the engine dyno(Used 26926s here customers preference).

Ive also used it on 6.0Ls and with a decent set of heads they always make 490-515hp.

I also personally run almost the same cam in my personal vehicle. Except I picked the one with the larger exhaust for my LS3 heads (219/235) and I run 918s.

SweetS10...you ever run into any piston/valve clearance issues with that much lift? Ever done one on a 5.7?

Lift isn't the main ptv issue .... it's duration + ICL/LSA, as maximum lift usely occurs when the piston is a bottom dead center anyway.

Good point...

JustAnotherLS2...I would love to hear them. This cam appears to be one that takes huge advantage of the cathedral port design and has a very broad torque range. For street performance and manners, this appears to be very good. But I'm ALWAYS open to new ideas!!
