what do you mean the tuner can "make it lope"?
well ive been looking into what a lot of guys are running seems there all running from 224-230ish so Im going to aim ive also seen some trick flow cams around same range, just to many cams lol
im going to listen an get a cam around those specs..
im going to build the motor since I already tore it all down it had to broken lifters.
looks like the previous owner started it without or something. the mti cam got like deep scratches in it an the cam bearings are scratched up too.
I want to mess with the internals, to change pistons an crank do I HAVE TO BORE OUT ENGINE??
I want to aim for higher compression.
ive wanted to get a cheap lq4/lq9 but i haven't had any luck locally

Hey Ryne- How much for a custom cam?
227/236 .630/.605 113LSA +0 advance ground in
DreemurY2KSS-
My 224/228 on 112 LSA (about .600 lift) will be for sale shortly.. $220 and its yours. I tuned it myself so no numbers, but a Google search will turn up a dyno sheet or ten. It has a mild lope through magnaflow catback, you can tell there's a cam in it. At 650rpm idle through a 3" cutout, it sounds mean. Good under-the-curve power.

if you are going to get a big cam make sure you try to keep the lsa down and a few degrees of advance so the cam is not a complete turd down low.
something like a 231/239 on 111+2, you also want more exhaust duration to help get the exhaust out since the nitrous is obviously getting in just fine.

my custom grinds are $399... what lobes? i am guessing lsl on the intake xer on the exhaust? is this for the L92 headed deal? i would do a 227-231 on a 114+2, or a 231-235 on a 114+3, i have had great success with the l92 stuff with shorter splits once you get above the mid 220's in duration

The heads will be milled .035 with a .041 gasket. I'm running a .041 gasket right now, no problems, so quench is fine. I like the look of that RR Stinger cam.. esp the lower duration numbers. Your dyno looks nearly the same, torque wise, with this cam that I quoted specs to you...
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...o-numbers.html
The torque curve is identical, and it's on a lil 364, too. I dont care about the peak numbers, I just want that 400 ft-lb at 2800-3k where my converter will flash. I need to do some number crunching and find out what the PTV looks like for each cam.. Duration is the PTV killer. You got some great numbers on that LS3, there was a guy with a paxton and the same cam that only made 50rwtq higher.

MAN...your still going...buy a cam which is best for your setup...
My OPINION.. do what you want..someone elses cam might not be the same for your car..this isnt rocket science...honestly that baby cam you want will get you rapped bye cobras up here..
Get of the ******* and stop reading to much..everyone told me i couldnt run a th400 i did with a spragless converter..which people say it will overheat..blabla..everyone said ms4 is too big but she wasnt complaining...ive drove my car up too 500 miles roundtrip on cruises in the hills etc etc...DO WHAT YOU WANT ...If you wanna make power call AES IN CHICAGO FOR A CAM..

I have a vigilante 3200 stall. And my cam is a 230/227. i have never rode in a stalled or cammed car, and my car drives like stock. I am dead serious. Seeing how my car drives now, i know i could step up to a larger stall, and should have gone with atleast a cam the size of the TSP Torquer 2 cam which is a 232/234 for the smallest.
My car is just a fun daily driver, light to light street car. It will never see the track, not trying to set records.
