? im about to do the cc306 and i dont think this as anything to do with it but does that water pump work a lot better and whats the pros and cons for it. and the intake i was told not to get one and just keep the stock one is that a lie also lol

lt1_t56

ewp was on the car when i bought it, ewp takes stress off the cam and timing chain free up 5-10 hp hasn't conned me yet. I'll be using stock intake with ported runners.

keithcampbell

oh alright then il keep an eye out for one then thanks

Not the cam or clutch I would run with a fresh build, but good luck.

If I was doing anything over a stock bottom end with factory heads/intake, non ported I would not run an off the shelf cam. While I do like my 306, there is much better cams out there to choose from. And I have not seen too many great stories on RAM, personally, I would go with a Mcleod single disk and stock PP and flywheel with the motor you are building.

what if u dont really care for all the power and u like the sound of a cam is the 306 a good cam to go with

Serious?

keithcampbell

lol everyone always says that but i hear from 50% that this is a good cam and that it makes good power and so on. then the other half says dont do it its a waste and its junk

My car is a stock bottom end, non ported heads, with a 306. It sounds good, and it makes good power for what it is. Would I use the 306 again? Not a chance in hell.

keithcampbell

well then who wants to buy a new in box 306 haha...

and i know im new to all these lt1s and **** and i ask a lot of stupid ?s but dont get mad at me i just take everything in and u wont hurt my feelings i just try to figure out whats best for me and my money...

I mean, if you would be happy with something in the 350 rwhp range that doesn't make any power until over 3000 rpm, use the 306. It wasn't too bad with 4.10 gears, but after I blew up a 10 bolt I decided to not invest anymore money into one. My car is a dog below 3000 rpms. I drove a exhaust/intake automatic 05 mustang GT on a 9 hour trip last year, and honestly I had WAY more fun on the street than I have ever had in my car with the 306. But up top, the 306 runs like a bat out of hell.

keithcampbell

really all im looking for is to have fun driving it and have more power/ badass sound. numbers dont mean anything to me bc when i want to make a lot of power il just get a diff motor and all that but i jsut want like red light to red light type stuff and then freeway also thats it and its stock other then air foil 90 elbow and a pro 5.0 thats it... i just got the cam, rr, pushrods, um springs, then some other stuff for the build then i got the pacesetters, a/c dlt, 25% under drive and i think thats it... i think im just going to post on here what i want out of it and have someone build me a top end and il sell all this crap i got i guess

lt1_t56

its bad.. but might be salvagable machine shop said.

lt1slowz28

holy crap, what's the bore look like, and how long did that run in that condition? must've sounded like a can of marbles in a paint shaker.

lt1_t56

Bore is not bad alittle scuffed up .30 bore and hone will fix, main concern is crank and that head.
I missed a gear at high rpm was late at night limped it back 30 miles home yes sounded just like marbles in a can.
