Vortec Head Swap On TBI Truck, What Cam?
Ive been researching TBI performance and have decided to go through with the Vortec head swap. But I am still clueless on what kind of cam to run. I sent Comp Cams the cam form they have on their site and they recommended me this cam, http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=26525 I was leaning towards the LT1 cam. What cam would you guys recommend? Im looking for more low end power and wouldn't mind gaining a little more upper end power.
I was also planning on retrofitting my truck with the stock roller cam out of a L31 truck engine. Will this work if I drill and tap the whole in the middle of the block for the spider hold down?
BTW, my truck is a 1989 K5 Blazer. It has a Holley TBI, Lifted with 35's and 4.10's.
