Question for those running Joe O. Cams?
Question for those running Joe O. Cams? Just recently bought a Joe Overton cam off of a buddy. Don't know if it is or not, but he said its a custom grind? It does have a cam card with it, but he still has it (have to catch up with him tomorrow). But he read directly off the card .560' .560' 232/242 109LSA. Sound familiar?
Just wondering is this lift on 1.5 rockers or is it adding for 1.6 rockers? Cuz with 1.6's it comes out to over .600 lift....I dont think stock LT's can handle that much lift and have the proper valve clearance?
Anyone have any insight?
I put the cam in last night, and when I say this, I mean the cam is physically in the car but nothing else, no valvtrain, just cam and lifters.
-Thanks

It's with 1.6 rockers.
Are you running that on a stock headed car?? That's probably going to be a bit much cam for a set of stock heads.
On a stock unmolested LT1 (meaning heads have never been off) you're good to about .600" lift before running into PTV clearance issues.

Thanks guys.
I actually installed the cam last night and it ran drove fine for the tune I've got on it.
My heads are stock ported (better than nothing at all) and I havent really ran the car really hard since last night because of the ran and wet roads.
Can't wait to get a good dyno tune and get it to the track.
