should be fine, cam doesnt really matter until you start spraying over a 200shot. your putting that cam in a 346?

CTSprojectR

yeah whatever the ls1 is, 347?

oh, that cam in pretty huge fyi, i'd prob go with something more like the ms3 for a stock cube motor

If you are running stock heads, then the Texas Giant probably won't work for you. The exhaust duration is WAY too much for stock heads.

Graham@NitrousOutlet

No.

That cam is WAY too big. Not a little too big, a LOT too big. Auto or M6?

Why did you want a dry system?

CTSprojectR

I have an A4, idk i heard that the fuel doesn't do too well in the intake for ls1 cars, something about it not atomizizing?(sp) well .... and i'm only running a 100 shot so it's not anything serious compared to what i read about other people doing on stock motors

Graham@NitrousOutlet

Just to give you an idea, you would probably want a 5000 converter for that cam in a 347.

We have done consistent hits of 300hp worth through the front of an EFI intake with our plates. The tuning is much simpler. That's why I asked. Just curious as to why you went that route.

CTSprojectR

well honestly i got a good deal on the system and read how the MAF adjusts as needed so i fugured tuning would'nt be that bad, what is a good cam .. i have the gm hot cam now i think it's 525 lift and i want something more aggresive... the ms3 and giant don't seem to be TOO much different

KevinR

There is a huge difference in those two cams. The Texas Giant .248/.254 compared to the ms3 .237/.242. You can't just look at the lift when it comes to purchasing a cam. With the Texas Giant, the valves will stay open too long, and you will be slaming the piston into the valves.

CTSprojectR

oh okay, is the .248 numbers the duration?... I think that i'll go w/ the ms3 then lol, i don't want to bother the motor too much

KevinR

.248 is the intake duration, and .254 is the exhaust duration.

CTSprojectR

okay cool, got it, thanks so much

Graham@NitrousOutlet

I think you should give Trevor and friends at TSP a call. I have a feeling your not 100% on what your getting yourself into.

CTSprojectR

not 100%, getting educated though, do you have a number for them? If they would give me a "recepie" if you will , that would help alot

Graham@NitrousOutlet

There banner is on the right ------>

Give them a shout.

Go with a MS3 cam. I rocked that in my old set up cam only it went 10.99 NA in a 3768lb car thats me in the car.
4l60e 3500 stall. With a set of patriot stg3 heads. The ms3 loves the juice to.
Do not go with the ms4.
