small cam with good power from 1500+ im looking for a cam that will match or beat the torque that the LT1 has from 1500 rpm and up... dont care about peak numbers... all under the curve for me... I want the car to have just a very slight lope... I am thinking either the crane 227- 210/224 or the Lunati Voodoo 60121. the specs on the Voodoo cam is...
* Advertised Duration IN/EX: 270/278
* Duration @ .050 IN/EX: 221/229
* Gross Valve Lift IN/EX: .515"/.530"
* LSA / ICL: 112/106
* Valve Lash IN/EX: Hyd/Hyd
* RPM Range: 1800-5800
will these two cams have more torque than a stock LT1 even at 2500- ???
I would like to shift at 6000 or 6100 tops... so a cam that carries a flat curve till then would be nice.
later on down the line, I will get a set of mildly ported heads and a matched intake... but till then, I would like to have the same or more torque from the cam at 2500-

For off the shelf great street/strip cams look at the LPE 211/219 .533/.560 lift and the 219/219 .560/.560 both on 112 lsa's and use with 1.6 rockers...Smaller durations and higher lifts are what you want for great low/mid range...Both make great power/flat torque to 5800-6000 rpms...

I don't have dyno numbers for before and after, but the 211/219 should have a goodly amount of torque at 2500 and it should be a pretty flat curve...I can tell you from 9 years of using the 211/219 in my 383 it was a torque monster and made for tons of stop light and drag strip fun...I'm a huge fan of smaller cams...My current cam in my 383 is a Joe Overton custom from Erson 226/234 with .568" lift...Usable power is what the small cam provides...

How good would the LPE219 cam be for boost? I have had that cam sitting in my closet for about 4 years now and was wanting to go kind small on the cam for my turbo motor to help with reliability. I know its a 112LSA but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Also how does that cam sound at idle? After having a cc306 I kinda want something pretty tame...

does the LPE 211/219 have a lope? noticable anyway... I dont want top fuel dragster, but want something that gives it a little lope... thanks
I read that the LPE 211 increases dynamic compression ratio, thats what I want. match that with mild heads with some velocity porting and a matched intake and 52mm TB, I say it will be a great fun combo that should run really well.
I guess it is between the LPE 211 and the crane 227. All I need to know is which will make more trq and more hp and where. Anyone have a dyno graph? or anything?
thanks guys

you made my mind up. I cant thank you guys enough.
who does heads? Im want some velocity porting down to bring up the bottom end torque that is sometimes raised in RPM's because of porting?
thanks so much

it seems the LPE will provide the same power as the crane 227 cam. my only question is this. look at these dyno graphs between the LPE 211 and a Comp cam 218/224.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...19#post4175057
the comp seems to have the same torque, but better hp. my two questions about that is, the LPE is designed for 1.6rr's not 1.5's and both graphs only show from 3500 and up. I would think that the LPE would make better power below that range than the comp cams 218/224. opions?
