I was speced out a cam that is 228/236 .565/.565 110 lsa. what are your thoughts on this cam? it will be used on a 355 stock crank, i beam 6.00 rods and mahle -5cc pistons and heads similiar to LE2. this car will be a daily driver. what do you think?

 

kinda need a quick answer heads are being dropped off in the am and he needs the cam specs

 

perfect cam for those heads and very streetable.

 

Should work fairly good with bumped compression. Do are rods so you can turn the short block as much as the cam wants and not have to worry.

 

i am looking for very streetable. looking to rev up too 6500rpm and put down 400whp. possible?

 

Should be streetabke with a good tune.

RWHP depends a hell of a lot more on the topend than the cam

 

If the heads are good I would expect to rev higher than 6500 with that cam.

I see a lot of "similar to XXXX heads" claims and rarely is that actually the case.

If a local shop does good work then great give them a shot, but don't compare them to something else till you have a result.

 

anyone else? would a 112 lsa be better for a daily driver? please any info is great this is my first cam

 

It really personal preferance on streetability.

It has a fair amount of overlap and a pretty wide split, but without info like the valve timings and ramp rate we can't say too much.

It will make good power with a nice set of heads, but may need a little bit more rpms then 6500.

 

It's not as simple as just changing LSA to change the characteristics of a cam. You also need to compensate with how much advance you have when you do this. And you really need to know how this all is gonna effect your valve events.

 

lol okay scratch the custom cam. whats a good off the shelf cam that will give me roughly 400whp. the heads have comp springs good up to .600 lift. the main thing is drivability

 

Sounds like you and I both are in the same boat trying to narrow down a good cam choice.

 

Le is making me this cam for a stock headed car

 

If the heads turn out to be close to LE2's, you have proper supporting mods, and you get a GOOD dyno tune it should do 400rw+. Id say shifting @6800 rpms, if you have 3.90/4.10/4.30 gears it shouldnt be any issue to DD.

 

If you are building the bottom end go for it twist the extra rpms and dont worry about it!

 

what kind of springs are they beehive or just double springs

 

not sure on the springs but i know they are good up too .600 lift.i have 1.6 rr alreadyand i was looking at the xe 230/236 .544/.555 112lsa any opinions

 

.600 lift on a .565 lift cam.. should be fine
