tired of LT1 Cam

im tired of searching for a good price on the lt1 cam. i went to shify's cam sticky and searched for the lift and duration and lobe, then searched for a new cam kit and tried to match the stock lt1 specs with a new cam. do ya think this is a good comparison to the lt1 for my lo3??

Re: tired of LT1 Cam

Nope. That's not a specific cam, it just says cam of your choice, but its not a roller anyways. You need a roller cam, and don't need new lifters. New springs are a good idea. If you're going to buy an aftermarket cam and spend all that money on one though, don't emulate some stock cam, step it up.

Re: tired of LT1 Cam

Need to know more about your setup. What are you planning, what do you want out of it, what heads, ECM tuning skills etc.
