Default Cam advise?

6.0 w/ ls3 heads. Car is a 65 Chevy ii, th350 trans, ford 9in. , 4:10 gears. Victor jr.w/750 demon carb. 28 inch tall tires. Looking to run 11.0's or better. It is a strip street car. I had a shop near me spec out a 223 227 @ .050 .610 int. .613 exh. 110 + 2 . Will it get me where I want to be? Anyone running a similar setup?

check out Tick Performance's LS3 cams and talk to Martin there, he can fix you up.

Your cam choice is going to be limited, and not all ls3 cams will even fit. Those ls3 heads are limiting you with ptv clearance unless ypu want to flycut. Id look into cams from EPS, and cams that are based on g8s with the l76, that way you know it will fit and can somewhat know what to expect out of it.

Any opinions on the cam that was spec'd for me? Nobody running a similar combo? Track times would be nice. Not looking for horsepower #'s

You really need to find someone who knows how to properly cam the LS3 heads - WITH THE VIC JR INTAKE. Everyone else is just talking out their ***.

I started with the L92/LS3 heads way back in 2006. I think I've run 5 different cams between the 403 and 427 build. Bret Bauer spec'd the Justin Timberlake cam that worked really well in the 403. Richard at West Coast Cylinder Heads and I agreed on another cam in the 403 that also worked very well. The cam I'm running now is from Shawn Miller and would be a good choice. All of the cams I've run are much smaller that most people think and most have produced tremendous tip in, great low/mid power and super average power. I've used a composite intake either L76, L76 ported and a stock FAST 102 and a heavily cut up FAST 102 opened up for the Nick Williams 107mm TB.

Four years of build detail in the thread in my sig.
