Cam for a 402 Cam For 402
I'm looking to upgrade to a 402 LS2 block/engine. I would like advise on cams- Now, I'm looking for a very streetable not bummpy cam! I'm looking to make as much torque down low and mid range with a good top end hp... I'm not looking to make peak hp or have a dyno queen.....
I'm looking to keep my LS6 intake & Patriot head, will this hurt much too much.... How much would a Fast 90/90 set add in the torque/HP department?
How much torque/hp would the cams you guys are recommending make?
Thanks

im going to be going with a custom grind .608/.621 242/250 LSA 114+3
LS6 intake ported, LS6 TB already ported, LS6 heads ported and milled with stock size valves head flow will be 314-315 cfm @.600, compression shoud end up 11.3:1
ported fast 90/90 will be added by the end of the summer

Does anyone have a video or sound clip of their 402 at idle and/or reving???? This would help since "good idle" is very subjective.....
Jhong321, intresting on the 226/226 LSA 112 with the hp & tq numbers..... I was looking at a 228/228 LSA 114, but then have been told to go higher to the 232/236 LSA 114; however I'm concerned about the idle quality..... What lift do you have with this cam???
Thanks!!!

Cam in sig with A4 on my 408. Made 500TRQ all threw, very flat TRQ curve. Also runs and idles awsome! I could be making more power, but the LSX intake is choking my ET heads bad on [eak power. Working on that now.

Katech CTS-V Cam Hi: What about the Ktech CTS-V cam that was designed for a 427 in a Caddy CTS-V. Read an article in a magazine it is suppose to idle good and be smog legal. It is a 226/226 116 with 585 lift using 1.85 rockers. Don't know of any one is using it. Maybe give them a call about it.
