CAM SHAFT

Just wanted to get a few thoughts on what is the best cam shaft for the money right now. I have a 95' z28, 6spd...mildly modded: 52 mm Holley, cold air intake, heads have been re-worked 2.00-intake 1.55-exhaust, msd distributor and wires, 4.10 gears, underdrive pulleys, hypertech, and will buy a new set of valve springs and 1.6 rockers when I purchase my cam. I'm wanting something that is going to be lumpy, but still allows for a reliable daily driver.


Also, what is a good. stock oem replacement flywheel?

i know alot more bout cams in an LS1, but Id say anything with a high 22X to a low 23X duration, and anything over about a .575 lift and something with a 111 - 113LSA will give you alot of power and a nnnnnnice little lump.... Heer's my 233/239 .598/.603 on a 112 LSA..... http://videos.streetfire.net/video/...9be0144514a.htm

for anyone who wants that sound, not trying to advertize for texas speed. But its really very simple. Pick a specific cam, as part of one of there 2 packages (spring kit differes between the two, anything over a .600 lift will require the bigger package) Ported oil pump, Dual timing chain, Arp Crank bolt, and the cam shaft swap package (consists of nessasary gaskets and whatnot) Its like.... 1100 total, and thats everything you need. You however may need bigger injectors witch is another 400... but.... its 1100 to have that sound and power 100% safley.

Are you sure that's an LT1 package? To run a true double roller timing chain on an LT1, you have to convert to an electric water pump. And I've seen people use a stock oil pump (albeit blueprinted, with the 80psi spring) on LT1's producing as much at 1,125HP. I run a stock pump and pan with my 800HP nitrous stroker.

LS1 and LT1 camshaft designs/requirements are significantly different.

Wihtout knowing the specifics of his head work, its sort of hard to recommend a cam. And the definition of "streetable" differs widely. Seems like people want a radical, lumpy idle, then get concerned when they can't get the A/F ratio right at idle, and get surging under cruise conditions.

i didnt know it was that different, but i guess now that i think about it the whole intake is different along with obviously the heads. I knew you couldnt fit an ls1 cam in an lt1 or something like that, someone just commented on the sound, and i thought they had an LS1 (conelite) so i told em what i did. But the surging thing was infact a problem untill I had cartek spend like 45 minuts tuning the idle.

I was speaking about the LS1.

LSx and LTx engines are very different when it comes to the heads and manifold. As for the Bolt im not going to pretend I know so ill stay quiet and .

i'd look for something in the 230 duration area, 112 lsa, and a powerband of 2000/2500-6000/6500. 112 lsa is about the best you can get with a "lumpy cam" and still pretty streetable. to get serious lump like most people want, you have to go down to the 110 lsa, which eats much more fuel, and is much harder to tune. you do get more power from the switch down to 110 lsa, just less "streetable"
