Hey

I hear alot about people putting the LT1 cam in there 305 TPIs and getting a good power increase. I did a search and I couldnt come up with anything. Has anyone added the LT1 cam to there 305 TPI. What kinda power increase did u notice.

Thanks alot.

Thanks.

Anyone else have any info on the LT1 cam in a 305 TPI.

 

Just so you know (not sure what year 305 you have), the '88-'89 305 TPI 5-speed cars got the L98 cam of that year, which is the biggest roller grind GM has used in any production 350 to date, (207/213). Its a more aggressive grind than even the LT1 (203/210), FYI.

In my 87 Z I did the swap and dropped from a 15.5 @ 86mph to a 14.6 @ 93-94 mph. I have an LT1 cam out of a 1996 Impala SS. Specs are in my sig. I am with headers and other mods running 14.0 @ 96 mph.

 

Wasn't the LT1 cam different from the Impala SS to the F/Y-body cars?

 

Yes the f-bodys got one, Y-bodys got another, and B-bodys got one of thier own 2. Vader has a great list of them what each car got in which year.

New87 those are awsome results. I would most likly throw in a LT1 cam if I could get those kind of results. New87, Did u run into any kind of problems installing the LT1 cam. How much was it to install or did u do it urslef. Did u have to buy and new parts or did u just pop it in there and she was done. I want to hear the details.

Thanks alot.

 

seems to me that the 92 Y LT-1 cam is the biggest of the LT1 cams.

 

Yeah it looks that way.
Does anyone know whats involved in intsalling a LT1 cam into a 305 TPI. I have talked to some other guys that say its not wirth it for all the work u have to do.
