Cam quest.....

Hoping for a little help on cam selection. I did some searching, but really couldnt locate anything too specific.

Here is my set up, and I need to get a cam for it.

NON-Roller cam.

383
edelbrock 60909 performer heads
Stealth ram intake
24lb injectors

And I need a good NON roller cam. I was hoping to hear some suggestion from everyone here. Nothing so big it requires a 3500 stall...LOL

Re: Cam quest.....

I notice on all three of them they are suggesting you use 1.6 rockers. I have a nice set of 1.5 roller rockers, and I dont think that will be an problem, do you?

Re: Cam quest.....

If you plan to use 1.5 rockers I'd get the bigger cam. What type of rockers do you have?

Re: Cam quest.....

Lift: .477"/.472" With 1.6 Rockers

I was thinking, I believe my set up could go with more lift.......what do you think skirkland? Ah, I hate picking a cam....... Maybe I should just order that one.

Lift: .477"/.472" With 1.6 Rockers I will NOT be using the 1.6 rockers though.
Duration: 252°/266°
Lobe Separation Angle: 113°
RPM Range: 1300-5300

My roller rockers are Summit brand FYI. I found some of the paper work from when I first built the engine for the boat.

By the way, who would I need to email about using my original SN from 1997? Or from 1999, when I think the board was redone.

Re: Cam quest.....

Is the engine going in a boat? What type of fuel injection are you using? I don't understand the last sentence of your last post.

Re: Cam quest.....

I originally built it for a boat. But after 70mph, it was too scary for the guy. (It was just a fishing boat). So, I am using it in my IROC now. Screen Name......I was wondering who runs the place now, so I could maybe get my first screen name up and running again.

I am using the Holley Stealth Ram.

Contact JT. What is controlling your fuel injection?

Re: Cam quest.....

Plan on using the stock ecm. But, I also have a megasquirt that can be used. Prefer to just use the stock ecm for now, I plan on transitioning to the megasquirt when i can plumb the turbo in. But, thats another project, and will be hunting a different cam down at that time, and probally go roller with it at that time.
