XE268 cam with 3:23's and 2200 stall?

Just wondering if you guys think 3:23's and 2000-2400 stall would be enough to use a XE268 cam (110 LSA). http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-12-242-2/

Re: XE268 cam with 3:23's and 2200 stall?

I'd go with a little more stall. closer to 3000. I have a custom Edge 3200 and its awesome. Less cam and more gear too.

What heads, exactly?

I wouldn't go with any more gear than a 342 with a tpi car , especially with an auto trans. 373 gears are know to hurt performance on a tpi auto car.

That cam is a little large. What heads are you running? If i were you i would not get a cam on a 110 lsa. You want 112 or above with a tpi car because of the computer. You may have a hard time tuning a cam that is on a 110.

That is a LOT of converter for that cam. I would say he should go with a 2200, 2500 at most if he wants to drive it around the street daily. You can run a stock converter with that cam without problems. That 3000 would launch nicely at the strip, though and he might want to specify how he intends to drive the car.
