ya i was looking for some sugestions on what cam i should use to go along with my modifications.
350 tpi
slp cat back/ no cat
modified maf
hot water bypass
edelbrock headers y pipe
accel ignition
under drive pulleys
bbk adj. fuel pressure regulator
3.27 gears stock torque converter.
soon to be a six speed tho!

what cam would work well with this package and work with future modifications. any sugestions apreciated.

 

ZZ4 cam. Will work with your stock computer and the idle and power are pretty good.

 

Dude, i used a OEM LT1 camshaft from a Trans am that runs pretty good. 201/207 .459/.467 lift. But i use 1.6 rollers .

 

ya i thought about a LT1 cam, how much did you pay for it? what kind of rockers did you use?

 

.

 

i use a lt1 cam from a 94 trans am. the car was mine to begin with so it was free. i did use 1.6 roller rockers but on the third gen stock springs coil bind if u adjust them more than 0 lash The cam has 205 dur @.050 and i think a .447 lift intake lobe and a 115 lobe sep. not very much duration but it has more lift than an iroc cam 202 dur and .410 lift. the lobes seem to have a faster ramp than oem Iroc cams. i was thinking on conical springs, at stock Iroc height, they will allow at least .550 lift. i was going to try that with 1.72 full roller rockers:hail: not sure how it will run was thinking keeping the stock stall cause short duration will retain low end and the extra lift will flow better up top? what u think?although i did like the cc-276 hr i put in the forth gen i had .

 

ya sounds like you got a nice set up, im not sure what im going to do i want to get good cam that will work well with some of my future plans, like ported heads,slp runners & bade plate, ported plenum, chip, and whatever else i come up with.

 

whats a bade plate?

 

ya that was just stupid me typing like an idiot i ment to write base plate, you know what i mean im just stupid sometimes.

 

i though that that was like a type of plate like a nos plate or something???

 

Do not waste your time or money on an Lt1 cam, youll be VERY dissapointed. If your gonna do it, do it right. Look into the 2032 cam. It will work with your stock heads, as the ZZ4 cam will requre machine work due to the .510 ehxaust lift.

 

I would get a hot cam if your planning on upgrading your heads and intake later. Otherwise i would just get 1.6 RR's. I doubt you will see much increase swapping to an lt1 cam. The people that do see increases are swapping from peanut-camed 305's. If you have MAF 86-89 system, are planning on new heads and intake later, and don't have to worry about emissions i would get the hot cam. I daily drive my car with a 270HR (very similar to the Hot cam), I lost a little torque down low and am running rich at idle especially at start up, but it runnes great and is fun to drive. Unfortunatly i can't say how it drove before because i bought it with a knocking engine.
