nitrous cam gurus step inside Hi guys, im in the process of a winter build on my camaro, it was previously a stock bottom end cam only car with a little spray. I am upgrading to a forged 11:1 347 ls1 with
heavily ported heads 799/243
Port matched super victor
edelbrock low pro elbow and 90mm tb
n20 outlet stinger plate (spraying 200-250-300)
Th350 with a brake and custom ptc 4000 converter to spec
3400lbs
1/4mi car that is regularly street driven and raced but sees a lot of track time
I like to play with the car on the street on motor but any major racing will be done on spray most likely (possibly with smaller shots at times but no more than 300 ever)
(If there is any more info needed let me know)
I have had 2 cams spec'd for this setup
1. 234/246;.629/.629 114+2
2. 235/246 .62x/.595 109+6
Now my question is which cam setup would be better for my setup, I like a choppy idle but im not qujte willing to sacrifice performance for it...and with more advance and a lower lsa on cam 2 would that combined with the lower exhaust lift provide a better series of valve events for my setup vs #1? Any help is thanks!

Edelbrock Super Victor intake
4150 accufab T/b
TEA Stage @ LS6 heads 2.04/ 1.575 valves and .650" springs
1 7/8" headers w/ 3" true dual
4L60E 3600 stall nitrous converter
9" rear end 3.70 gears

There are many threads dating back to almost 10 years ago about guys removing elbows and putting 4 hole throttle bodies on and picking up between 25-40 hp depending on head and cam choice and cubes.

I would run a 114 cam.
The reason that I asked is because of the cams I see that cam shops have begun to recommend for the single plane builds are looking more like cam #2 in this thread, while cam #1 looks like your typical plastic intake cam. I wanted to see if you have tried the cams with the earlier events that a lot of the cam shops are moving toward for the single planes.

The advance will help with low end power. Right now I have a cam in my car that has no advance and below 3000 rpm it's sluggish. The cam with no advance I feel would work better in a 6 speed car or an auto with a 4500+ stall. Where it can get to higher rpms quicker than a 3600 rpm stall car can.

If you advance the cam off of what it was ground on, your gaining somewhere, and sacrificing elsewhere..
You should not need to do that when getting a custom ground camshaft.
