Yea, it didn't much care for the summer. It loved 104 from the pump but 97 worked.

Yup! Just choose the right cam

It's an LE 242/248 110lsa 580ish lift. It's the cam LE Spec'd for my 383 build. Man I thought that just seemed high for street oh well. Will a stock starter eventually go out starting something with 12.5+?

Tuner needs to know what he is doing.

Stock starter is a nice gear reduction piece, just give it a larger feed cable and it will be fine.

I know it doesn't "look" like a gear reduction starter but it is.

your sure as hell pushing it but get a GOOD tuner that knows his **** and you'll prob be ok long as you dont have a cam with like 0 overlap lol

With a fairly mild 236/244 112 cam my old 396 ran great with 12.25:1 so i think youll be good.

Well I Got a mail tune from Ion. I got the tune hoping it with get me to the nearest LT1 turner (about 2hrs away). Think it will be ok with that tune driving for 120 miles? Or should I just rent a trailer? Good to know about the starter thanks 96caprice.

I do agree a good tuner needs to be used as well.

And no you cant have my hood!! Lol

Can you just mill the heads or do you have to design a cam around the designated CR?

If I milled the heads I thought it would increase the compression? Is this backwards? I guess I could just go with a thicker gasket if I needed to lower it.

Just curious, what heads are you running for this build?

lt1_2buku

iTrader: (4)

Running an LE2 set of stock casting heads 54cc. LE did say this cam loves high compression. I just wanted to know if I need to only run high octane or if 93 would be ok.
