what cam do you recomind to get me in the 12's. It is a 87 350 L-98. I will be geting some AFR's 195's 62cc and a min ram or a stelth ram and a tork converter i have most of the bolt on and i am runing 14.1 now what do you think . I just bought a comp cam 306 but i was wondering if you guys think i should go with this cam or a difrent one

 

Stall speed?
Gear ratio?
Street, race, or both?
Custom PROM, right?

The CC306 may be too much for a stock bottom end, it will probably make power past 6000rpm, which is a gamble with stock internals. Your cam choice depends heavily on preferences and how much of driveablility/mileage/low end loss youre willing to sacrifice for that extra bit of power. Try a search also, the CC306 is a pretty common cam.

 

do a search on the zz4 cam, seems to be popular.............

 

Just because a cam is popular doesnt mean it works well in every application. The ZZ4 is a very small cam, its not much more aggressive than stock. With that cam you would definitely be leaving some power on the table.

ZZ4 - 208/221 .474/.510 112LCA
L98 - 202/206 .403/.415 114LCA

 

Not with a TPI engine like the L98 is. The ZZ4 is meant for a carb, however.

Your best bet is to phone Comp or Crane or whoever on their 1-800 number and ask for their advice. They do know their business.

 

zz4 cam will put you in the solidly into the 12's with traction decent idle nice lope, awesome torque and horsepower throughout your rpm range. Thats why it's popular,
also the tpis ZZ-9 is a great choice and will make a few more ponies over the zz4



Big cams make big power if your prepared to twist the crap out of it!!

Sent you a PM

 

I know. He said this engine was going to have an HSR or MiniRam. I can understand using this cam in a TPI setup, but with an HSR/MR, AFRs and a stall, using something that mild is ludicrous. Call Comp, if youre using a 2500-2800rpm stall, Ill bet they recommend an XR276HR-12 or something close to it.
