i have a question about this cam here are the specs.... RPM range 1800-5800 - Duration @.050 Int./Exh. 230/244 - Lift Int./Exh. .510/.540 .... the question is it streetable.. and the other question how much other stuff would i need to make it worthwhile

 

sounds alot like the comp cams 290hr or the cc306

 

it is the 306 i just put the specs instead of the part number

 

all the bolton's and u can make real good power. I have the 847 234-242 .538-.558 and I drive mine everyday...

 

sounds good what is about the most extreme i could go and keep it daily driver im not to worried about how difficult it is i have driven cars that have been worse just because how shitty they were... i just want a cam that will make my LT1 into a little more of a monster

 

DUDE everything is streetable it just depends on your tolerance, again like said before Bolt ons and a tune are going to make all the difference in the world

 

i know that i am already getting the bolt-ons together i am just curious as to how extreme a cam i can go and keep it daily driven without me regretting it and i have a pretty high tolerance you should have seen my first car lol

 

Then what do you mean by regreting it. I drove a Trex Cam on my LS1 daily. but remember things are more likely to break more often. That is a lot of stress all the time.

 

i want to have a cam that will make some serious power if it is at the expense of drivabilty i am not to worried about it unless i can no longer daily drive it

 

Do you have stock heads or aftermarket? If they are aftermarket who are they from?

 

I had this cam with full boltons and midly ported heads and made the numbers in sig. As for daily driving it yes its easily tolerable just make sure to get yourself a good tune and gears would be nice too. Im m6 also.

as of right now its all stock thats why i ask because i will more than likely get AFR heads when i do it along with everything else, suspension,tranny,rearend

 

IN that case...254/260, 610/622 solid roller..LOL

 

I would say if you looking at some AFR's go a different route. They are not bad heads but Right now there different options that you can do for much less money and get more power.

For instance lets take Loyd Elliot. Get his LE# package with the biggest cam you want and make more power then you would with some AFR's. Just some advice.

 

I've seen guys go way big on a cam and start losing to guys with smaller cams that have power in the right places and can get it to the street. Bigger is not always better.

Please give me some examples, because I am afraid that your big cam guys can not drive. The entire purpose is for a big cam car to have power from 4000 to 7000. Last I knew when I was racing i never dropped below 6,000 when I am racing.

Another thing that you will need to add is the suspension. I could see a small cam guy beat a big cam guy off the line with out proper tires or other suspension. But I am reaching here. Because I had no problems with my big cam and no suspension.

Let me also say that when I went to the track untunned making 378 and 350 With a trex cam I launched at 6000 car bogged (So bad car almost died) when I let out the clutch pulled a 2.0 and lifted the front wheels and still ran a 12.1. I would like to see a small cam even come anywhere close to that. A good Launch and a tune that car would have ran 11.5 easy. Probably would have done that with a better launch.

I snapped my 9" rear in half that same day when I launched at 6500. Just a side note

 

ok well heres what i am trying to attain i want 11 sec capable taht can be daily driven it prolly wont be though and full interior
