im gonna give this thread a bump cause im ordering a cam this week, just checkin if anyone else had got something to add..

im probably going to go with an OTS comp cam for simplicity/costs sake

 

my cam ides like stock but has a slight lope in it.sounds really good. im runnin a custom cam thats a 220/230 cam on a 112 lift.Im running at 10 lbs of boost also.drives like stock untill you put your foot on it

 

I can give you the specs for the one in my sig if you want. You might need a vac can for the brakes though.

 

I have a smallish Turbo specific cam in my 355. Here's what it sounds like at idle thru the Borla...

thanks all for the reply,

rich can you tell me something about the cam you mentioned, is that whats in your 383? do u have numbers/ what are its characteristics

95maro- your motor sounds very similar to what i have put together, any chance you dynoed it?

 

Check my exhaust thread for a video of how my cam sounds...if thats important to you. Still haven't made it to the dyno yet.

 

Im running the cc305 cam with a 114 lsa. Its a fairly popular shelf cam that works pretty damn well with boost and nitrous. You can find them used all the time at good prices too. Lift with 1.6 rockers is in the mid .5xx. Its nice and mellow sounding @ idle while cold start is a tad loud at first with Hooker LT's and catback. In boost it gets quite loud with my exhaust but the power is great for a shelf cam. Im running 10 psi @ 6k rpm and looking to spin the s-trim faster. I have a 125 shot on the car, but haven't needed it on the street, yet.

 

Im going to have the car dyno tuned this Saturday so ill let you know the numbers then

 

Idles like a stocker, HUGE midrange, ~600rwhp at 5,800rpm.

Sorry to revive an old post. Rich how would that cam work in an Ai headed 355. I'm looking for something that will make 600whp and be driveable and possibly get decent mileage out of boost. will be using a vortech s trim with between 10-12psi intercooled. through a t56. Btw Does power drop drastically at 5800?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
