Cam for stealth ram What would be a good cam for a stealth ram setup so far im running - stock 350 bottom end - pro action 180 cc heads, ported and polished - edelbrock 1 5/8" shorty headers - 24 lb injectors - stock throttle body right now i have a 218/218 cam but i think it might be a little small.. should i bother to change it or would it be alright? also what would a good stall to run with this setup? |
Sounds like enough to me. |
Whats the lift of the cam? what kind of cam is it? You could always try it and see. Personally I would just go for a bit bigger cam...like a 224/230 duration @.050 and then learn the DIYPROM aspect. Youll never get it to run "right" without doing some tuning.....even with the 218 cam. Good luck.... |
oh im well versed on tuning :) i have all the stuff to make it work.. guess i forgot to add that.. its a crane powermax 2050.. says its an lt1 cam.. 218/218 w/ 541 lift.. 116lsa |
If you want to stay on the smaller side but still want to make some decent power, you should try the Comp Cams (XR269HR-12). The LSA on your current cam is not all that great for a stealth-ram. That HSR intake will make peak power in a higher RPM. Hence, the 112 LSA on the cam I mentioned will compliment your intake a little better. Just my $.02 |
Only place i could find a XR269HR-12 was for an LS1?? the car isnt driven much so i dont mind something too bad.. |
Look at comp cams online catalog under comp cams xtreme roller grind the XR269HR-12 is for hyd. roller cam equiped SBC (non-LT1) specs are: .495/.503 218/224 @ .050 112 LSA 108 ICA Click here Hope that helps! |
click the green banner. look in the HSR CARS section and see what others have used and what times they are running. |
I'm with Mike on this, that Comp XR269HR-12 is a sweet cam :) Same with the size up. |
Yea, I run the next size up in my TPI 355. (XR276HR-12) Even though I run the bigger one, they are both really nice cams! Just be prepared to do alot more PROM tuning if you go with the XR276 . |
I had the XR276HR-10 (110CL) cam on my 350 HSR, It was slightly soggy on the bottom end, but screamed up top. I see you are running 180cc heads. In that case I would go with the 269 cam. |
It was slighty soggy down low and screamed up top cause you had the 110 LSA cam. You wouldn't of had that problem with the 112 LSA XR276. |
I have a cc306 in mine. I like it a lot. Still needs a lot of tuning though. 230/244 and .544/.576 w/ 1.6r |
:eek: ive always liked the power number the lt1s can put down with a cc306... can it be run safely with stock lifters?? i forgot to add that im also running a rev kit so that should help a bit i like the numbers of that 276 cam as well.. but not the price as its like 375 from comp im lacking any sort of dyno or a wideband so most of my tuning is done on some back highway with a g-tech and that datamaster tuning program.. drivability is easy but WOT is not too fun :) |

260 isnt bad there is places where you can get them custom ground for like 220$ so i can basicaly pick any numbers and lobe profiles to roll with..but with all that flexibility comes nothing but doubt :) i dont want to have to change it so ill do alot of checkin setups before i finally get one |
