Best cam for LB9 305 TPI.
Hey guys I am about to get a chip programmed with the guys over at Custom Chip Inc and was wondering what cam that you had the best luck with for your TPI system. I have a 1992 LB9 305 TPI, 5 speed, with MAP. I have heard the Crane 2032 is good. Let me know what worked for you.
Thanks guys.

I don't have an LB9, but I've heard excellent things about the 2032 in those engines. Maybe not the best if you intend to go bat **** with the car later, but then again, if you do you probably won't be using the 305. 2032 should be great for your mild application, and cheap to boot.

I am seriously considering this cam but would have to upgrade to flat tappet lifters to.
Let me know what you think.

Re: Best cam for LB9 305 TPI.
On a 92 engine? That should be a roller cam. Do not use a flat tappet cam in that. Big step back for no good reason. If I were sticking to a 305 and getting a comp cam, I'd use a 8-500-8. I don't believe in such thing as a "best cam". Just good/great cam for the right application and use. So there are many cams that will suit your engine.

I had to install Comp Cam screw in studs and Comp Cams bee hive springs.
