you're best bet is to speak with a cam grinder and have them help you get into a setup that will compliment your goals, they can grind a cam that will shift were you want it, drive like you want it, pass emissions, etc.

gears on a bolt on car are quite a boost let alone a cammed or h/c car. my buddy has a cc306 car with 2.73s and the thing pulls like a big turbo supra, so I wouldn't recommend it.

as for the cc503, I had one with stock heads and the car was still pulling on the dyno past 6400rpm.
I am discussing the setup with a grinder, but I am also considering other options. Its best not to rush it

I run patriot 195cc 2.02 1.60 65cc heads home ported on my LT1. With a 230/236 540/570 112 reground ebay cam, and vic jr, I put down 400rwhp and 383 ftlbs at 5800rpm. Now with a new custom grind, some more head work and other little changes/additions I hope to break the 430 mark on motor, and throw a 200 shot on it.


Edit: Cams for sale btw.

Tell me more about your set up? Gears? Stall? Have a dyno sheet I could see?

I am really interested in these heads. I will be buying the cam new, but I have not decided on what cam to go with yet, without porting them. Of course, some work will give more power, but my goals are not that high

How big a cam can I run with these on a 2.73 and a Yank Stealth 3000? I am shifting at 6K and intend to stay at 6K.

Street manners of the cam does not matter, its not my daily driver.
anything more than the LT4 hotcam will be a waste and make your car a total dog shifting with the 2.73's and 6000 rpm rev limit

Dyno numbers without track numbers are interesting but not the whole story, there are setups that dyno great but just don't run.

The guy who keeps quoting the 847 as peaking at 5800 has little understanding of how this all works. If that cam peaks that low something is CHOKING it badly, repeating it gives people a false impression. Give that cam a good head, springs, induction and exhaust and will peak well beyond there.

Your focus on price and shipping cost is going to screw you in a big way.

Did you see his location? Bahrain is halfway around the world (next to Saudi Arabia). Shipping is not insignificant!

ADM, have you considered throwing a 150 wet shot at the cat, with the stall and gears it will rip. And you dont have to worry about where you shift with juice. Just a thought.

Yes I saw his location, but why pay all that money to ship mediocre or worse parts?

I look for VALUE not price. I learned my lesson on buying cheap parts, it costs a lot more in the end.

True, speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?

I was simply retorting that not "ANY aftermarket cam" will require 6k+ rpm

never said it wouldn't pull higher with supporting heads, etc. why you feel the need to jump to conclusions and making assumptions that I don't know what I'm talking about simply because I said cam "A" peaks with stock heads is beyond me though.

I understand how combos can be limited by many factors, just like how I understand you're a douchebag

Comments like that are what cause all the problems in this section. Consider this your warning. Next time you want to start calling someone names for subjective reasons will yeild in you having a temporary suspension from the board.

I have decided to get a CC503 on the stock heads with a 3.42 and a 3600 Vig, and call it a day. Thanks for your help everyone.

Mods, please close the thread.

It's a forged 355 with Vic Jr intake, Weisco Flat tops 2-valve reliefs, full bolt ons, no emissions, mail order tune, that pull was with 4.56 gears through a T56. I have a dyno sheet somewhere I'll look for it. I ran a 12.4 @114mph with a 2.0 60' on motor.
