Here are the specs on the cam:

Advertised duration: 282 intake/288 exhaust
Duration at .050 in. cam lift: 230 intake/236 exhaust
Gross valve lift: .510 in. intake/.520 in. exhaust
Lobe separation: 110 degrees
RPM range: 2,200 to 5,800
Great for street machines
Needs intake, headers, stall, and gears

Here are the specs on the car:
ZZ4 crate motor (this currently has stock zz4 heads which I believe are just stock 91ish alum. corvette heads. They will hopefully be ported or replaced within the next year) , LT1 Intake, 3.70 rear, probuilt stage 3 700r4, 2800 vigilante TC, TES headers, dynomax 3" catback , nitto DR, 125 shot n2o, custom chip (made by me), LCA + SFC

This car IS daily driven. I'm not afraid of a little lope , but I dont want to be getting 10mpg either.
I Think I've seen this cam ground on a 112 LSA, but I dont know if that was a typo or not. Would that help out alot?

Also, the other two cams I had in mind...

Comp Cams
224/236 .503/.521 (1.5) 114 Lobe Sep
Comp Cams
224/230 .503/.510 (1.5) 112 Lobe Sep

Thanks...

yeah, your 350 could gobble up that cam no prob, but make sure u get a high stall converter and some gears. id make sure your valves springs can take that much lift. insted of this cam have u though about the HOT CAM. neways, good luck dude

 

Like said, I wouldn't use the stock converter with it, and gears will help too.

I guess it helps to read an entire post.

 

It's not too much for a 350..but it's wayyy to much to get the computer to work halfway decently....no matter how many custom chips you burn.

Look at the Lt4 HOT cam..thats about the biggest you can get away with. might be able to get away with a little bit larger, but not much.

 

I'm following Jester. I bought that exact cam hoping to run a ported-to-hell TPI setup. I was told by to many people that the vaccum signal would be next to nill, compared to what is needed on a MAP system. That is when I got cheap and put a carbed motor together. The cam works great for me. I love it.

 

Ok, forget that one

How about the 224/230 .503/.510 110
Would that be ok in a daily driven FI car?

 

I completely agree with Jester on purchased custom eproms. Most competent custom eprom writers should get the car to run "half-assed", but "reasonably good" is questionable (with many writers) and "optimal" would be out of the question - unless they are willing to spend a lot of time and you are willing to spend a lot of money.

If you spend the time and effort to learn how to burn it yourself (because the time involved is just too expensive), then you can make an engine of those specs work no problem. I know guys running more wild cams (SD though). In fact, Tim (aka Traxion) is running an even wilder setup with a 236/240 AND he passed Maryland's IM 240 emissions. They don't do a "visual", just "blow the number and you've made it". The level is the same as California's btw.

Most MAF users at that point tend to convert to SD, but I am currently helping a buddy on a "MAF experiment" with a potent 383 MAF/AFR 195 Comp Ported/2.05 Intakes but a cam one step smaller with excellent results. In fact, it damn near idles "tooi smooth"...he is considering stepping up a cam or two. 236/240 ish.

The biggest problem you are going to have is you should have started to learn how burn eproms when your engine was not quite radical. If this is just a plan and your engine is currnetly working, you could start learning on your current setup to see how things work and how to tune your engine. There are plenty of "tuning" topics on the DIY Prom Board. I would so a search on "tune" on the DIY Prom Board and read EVERYTHING.

 

From my personal experience, a very similar cam will work very well in a 350 SBC with a ported LT1 intake, large ported heads, larger (2.02/1.60) valves, at least a 2,200 RPM stall TC, and a little extra fuel. The cam I now have in mama's '94 SS is the 290HR-12, and it idles and runs pretty well.

That Comp XR cam specs at:

.510"/.540" 230°/244° @ 0.050", 112° LSA, and is installed at 4° advanced over stock lobe centerlines.

It does pretty well in a 4,500 pound sled with a 3.08 gear set, so it probably would be really nice in a ThirdGen with better gearing. Of course, I'm using a '94 flash-ROM PCM and a MAF/MAP setup, so you might have some tuning issues with an older ECM or speed/density scheme.

 

Thanks glen and vader!

I really wanted the extreme 282/288, but I had decided to go with the smaller cam (224/230 @ 50) because I wasn't sure if I could get it to idle and drive decently.

Now I'm back at step 1.
