SR Camshaft Selection Help Needed!!!
I've contacted a few people that you guys are recommending with no luck, i figure its because its racing season people are getting extremely busy. Im going to contact cam motion later today and see what they recommend.
Edit
Contacted cam motion and they recommended that i fill out there cam form and go from there.
I did call comps tech line and Spoke with someone and they recommended 248/256 .662 Intake .664 Exhaust 112 LSA with a operating range of 2800-6800. Im a little worried about the recommendations of this cam because i told the guy what i had engine, trans & rearend wise and he put me on hold and comes back with this recommendation didn't even ask vehicle weight, goals, purpose of vehicle perferred operation range. So to you guys does this cam look like it would perform well?

Cam motion charges you $25 for a cam request. Its because they dont just rattle off some numbers real quick. If you spend the time to fill out the sheet they can give you a real nice cam for your set up. They take a few days to get back to you but its worth it IMO. You get the $25 back when you buy a cam from them.
I went with Cam Motion. 263/270 .686/.674 w1.6 rockers on a 112+4. Going into a 355 for track use only with ocasional N2O.

It will be in the lower 12's on compression.. I plan to use pump gas this won't be a race car only i would like to enjoy it on the street as well.
I would be VERY careful about taking the advice of some people in this post. SOME people in this post haven't built an engine(of any kind) in 4 to 5 YEARS, more or less an LT1(none). He sits and uses engine software(that's ALL he does) and lies about having this car running this, and this engine doing that and talking like he owns this big raceshop. In fact he has only had ONE car that he built and owned and that was over 35 years ago, So beware. He is taken in high regard on this site because of his lies. He knows who he is and he knows I know the truth....as do all of my friends. Most people can't afford mistakes, and definately can't afford to re-invent the wheel.....the best way to go fast on a budget(most of the people on this board) is to copy someone elses setup..hence the LE1/2/3/4 packages.
Again, beware.

With that cam and 13.5-1 ya will be 9.10DCR.
What's wrong with that on the street,why can't ya enjoy a FAST car on the street?

At least I have built many more than ONE ENGINE in my life Mr Tool Belt. Ask Brett if it will work.
LT1 is no different than SBC except the advantages of cooling.
When ya going to bring my stuff back ya have decided to keep/steal.

The reason the car has sat for 2 years is ya didn't work on it. I agreed to do the engine and you do the car,that didn't happen, I did the car too. Nice copy of my engine pretty much down to the "T". What's wrong ya can't come up with your own design.
Prior to this everything in speed equipment ya owned was bought and installed by me when I was home on vacation. Some of it ,most,of it was pretty fast for what it was.
The 4800.00 for what-- not my tools and air compressor. You own none of them (and I have the receipts to prove it) compressor,engine hoist,measureing tools and such.That has nothing to do with my engine tools,but if that's the way ya want it so be it.You will not keep that stuff I promise ya.

and your saying with the cam you mentioned eariler a 13.5 compression and 9 DCR will have somewhat street friendly manners?

[QUOTE=FASTFATBOY;4588091]Come on with it, I am ready and waiting...and I DO have reciepts. You got it all back. Yeh I didn't work on the car.....dude you got a warped mind...I worked on it plenty and held down a full time job to keep a roof over YOUR head for free(as Charlene is doing). The difference in my engine is:
MINE will get finished
MINE will be street driveable
MINE was ALOT cheaper than your NEVER will be finished engine.
MINE will be at cruising the coast this year.
Yours.....none of the above.
Yeh YOU built and installed the last motor ALL by yourself...did you forget I WAS THERE????????????? You are truly in a dream world. And you bought EVERY piece of it.....thats a damn lie , I paid for every piece on the last engine. PERIOD!
The reason the car sat for 2 years is every 4 months YOU changed something on the damn thing. And over engineered it, lots of stuff that car didn't need and I didn't want. But you did it anyway...oh well.
Again, Charlene(you know the one you are schmoozing off of)has the cancelled checks and reciepts for $4800 paid TO YOU, with car parts written right on the checks. Just gotta muster up the ***** to ask to see them.
BTW you get enough money to live on your own and live well, why are you using your sister?
You got YOUR engine off of EA Pro....you didnt design squat..EA Pro did. Got a little secret for ya all internal combustion engines are "copies"[/QUOTE

EAP CONFIRMED the design.That's the way to go nowadays didn't ya know that with your ONE engine. All you wanted was any old kind of junk as long as it was shiny. Your friends know who bought what and who worked on it.
The reason the last one let go is the cheap cam bearings ya bought to put in it.
No one is taking advantage of anyone,that's the way ya would like it though.
Again I say ya will not steal my stuff. THIEF
Ya think ya can take advantage of an old man,guess what.
