Default Need some input.

Ok guys, need some imput on building an ls3. Now don't hate but I am planning on putting an ls3 in my 1984 944. I was wondering what cams would be good to put into it but I need a cam that doesn't create a more lopey sound to the engine. Something that would be mid-range, but the few that I have looked at all make the ls3 sound more lopey. I appreciate it.

You would need to go with a small cam. Something along the lines of a 220/220 or 224/224 but make sure you do it on a 114 or 115 LSA. These cams are small so they build lots of low end to midrange power. They will also be relatively quiet because they are small the LSA.

You could just go with a factory LS3 cam. 944, huh, that would be a cool swap. I haven't seen one of those with a LSX yet. Post pics when you get it done, and good luck!
