Cam sugestions for 396 LT1 Am looking for cam suggestions for a 396 LT1 Currently under construction.
Heads are GTP Stage 2 with the following flow
Intake
.200=131.6/44
.300=188.4/63
.400=233.3/78
.500=262.6/87.8
.600=263.2/88
.650=256.6/85.8
.700=256.0/85.6
Exhaust
.200=109.5/34
.300=148.1/46
.400=175.5/54.5
.500=193.2/60
.600=202.8/63
.650=204.4/63.5
.700=206.1/64
The car is a 6-speed, using 1&3/4" LT headers
the old cam was a GTP #5 236/242 .560/.560
am looking for more power lower in the RPM band, the old cam had a very high power band.
Car will be SPRAYED
Any help is greatly appreciated.
