I know this topic has been beat to death and Ive gone thru and read most the posts on it. I havent however found a cam specifically for what I want. like I said its a 1990 Formula 305 TPI w/ 5 speed and the 3.42 rear. would the LT1 cam still be a good choice? I want to make a good amount of power over stock, but w/o fraggin the tranny anytime soon as its a brand new one. The engine right now is being rebuilt. I was gonna leave it all stock except for hypereutectic or forged pistons and the cam. If the money allows it I will port the heads to. This car is for a daily driver/mild strip use and auto-X. reason for not going all out on the engine right now is Im in the middle of buidling a 355 and then going to wait for a t-56 to swpa in all at teh same time.

Thanks

 

anyone?

 

I am looking for close to that setup. I am going to call comp cams and give them my specs and see waht they recomend.

 

thanks, that will be awesome if you post what they give you.

 

If your LB9 has the L98 cam (factory) then the Lt1 cam is a waste of time IMO -- not enough increase in duration and lift to justify the effort.

Better off with something from Lingenfelter or Comp Cams, around 210-214 intake duration and .500 lift. Get ready for other expenses though -- springs, rockers, new chip, etc...

RP.

 

I am using the ZZ-4 cam in my 305 and it works well. The bottom end is still very strong and the top end improvement is impressive.

 

hey thanks. Will the stock heads be able to handle the ZZ4 cam?

 

You will have to change the springs, the lift is too high on the exhaust.

 

yeah figured it would be isnt max stock life .46 and the ZZ4 with the 1.6would be at like .48?
