LSX Blower Cam recommendation Any suggestions for a streetable cam for this motor in a 6000+lb Avalanche. Hoping to mount an Eaton TV 2300 blower on top of it. Will be going to an 80E trans. TC stall speed yet to be determined. *edit: see post #4 for motor spec's TIA |
Or.....any comments on these 2 cams? 1. Dur 253/256, Lift 646/630, LSA 114 +4 2. Dur 220/230, Lift .597/607, LSA 115 +2 |
LPE GT2-3 207/220 .571/.578 118.5 or maybe even an LS7 (211/230). I mostly tune my own stuff, but I can't imagine getting the driveability of a big cam right on a blown tank like you have. I would stick with something small, but that is just me. Most of your power is going to come from the blower, not the cam anyways. I had the GT2-3 in my Firehawk and it idled stock but pulled hard. I had a powerdyne on it too, and the low overlap made the blower shine. I have heard it is a popular cam with the truck guys too. Just get some good heads to take advantage of the lift. -Geoff |
The GT2-3 is a proven performer. I just think it would be a little small for the new motor: LSX block(427) Callies Comp Star 4340 4.0" crankshaft Callies 6.125" H beam rods /ARP 2000 7/16" bolts Wiseco 4.125" custom forged nitrous pistons, 30cc dish\NPR stainless chrome rings 1.2 1.2 3mm Clevite 2199 H main brgs, Clevite CB663 H rod brgs, Dura Bond CH-23 cam brgs ARP main studs ET LS7 ETP LS7 CNC ported cylinder heads/6 bolt per cylinder/70cc/ Titanium 2.200" int.

THe cams you listed would be completely wrong for something like that from what I would guess youd be trying to do with it. What exactly would you be trying to do? Picking cyl head first would be paramount... then look into cams |

After reading your motor specs I wonder why you are bothering with the blower? That motor should be good for 600 RWHP. That blower would probably be a restriction on it. -Geoff |
The 2300 did pretty decent on this LSX: http://www.putfile.com/pic/5042519/?action=slideshow http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...sticespecs.jpg |

The 1900 is the biggest map I have seen.Production S/C's seem to be falling in the ls3/l92 line |
We have a 2007 Caddy EXT "kinda the same config" LSX 427 - AFR Heads - D1 procharged - TH400 - 6600lbs 12.1 @ 8323 DA 414 cam. |
224/244 .624/.624 115+3 range would be killer for your combo IMO. |

Here's a performance map for that R(TVS)2300 blower. http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...erminboost.jpg |

I have now come across a few "blower cams" with between 4* and 6* of overlap. Here's one from EPP: http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com/movies/sts1.mpg Blower cams galore: http://www.blowerdriveservice.com/bcamspecs.php Here's some crazy stuff: https://ls1tech.com/forums/corvette-performance/867441-throwing-blower-cam-theories-out-window.html#post8753622 What would big overlap do to the bottom end where the modified roots blowers normally shine? |

1 Attachment(s) Latest recommendation is: 228/236, 63X lift, 114 + 4 edit: with 1.8 rockers Would like to do something like this to feed it if I can find a custom intake builder. |
I talked with Magna Charger yesterday and was told this 2300 setup is not availabe for sale yet. What gives?? Also, what compression are you running? I know the maggies like more than the prochargers. |

I know the maggies like more than the prochargers. I was thinking twin 1900's would be nice as I require a custom intake anyway for my LS7 style heads. Either that or spin up a 2300 on a custom intake. I believe my static CR works out to somewhere around 8.9:1 but the 1000HP Solstice shown above was supposedly at 9.5:1. The new LS9/R2300 Vette is at 9.8:1 but I think the PCM can cut boost if there is any knock. Seems to me I read that somewhere anyway. |
Late Model Speed makes a kit with a different intake piece to fit their head units. Trying to get a hold of Ed Potter to see if he can get his hands on a 2300 and if it would work with his manifold lower piece. Love the torque of the maggie vs the peak hp of the procharger and the sound isn't bad either. |

Late update: Ended up with 228/236 .595/.600 114 LSA, advanced 4. Still some body and intake work to do, but it runs. http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...nwithTwins.jpg http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n.../th_AvIdle.jpg |
