I have an New LT1 crate engine. I'm wanting to install a Cam. I have heard and been told that because of tuning, that I can't do much as far as a Cam because the LT1 can not be tune. Just how much of a Cam can I go with the stock engine? I'm not looking to make this a racer, just want to have a good sounding lope with some extra power. I know I could do work with the heads to get the power. And sure I could do alot more to the engine, like Supercharger, but then again I would just build a whole new engine if thats what I wanted to do. Maybe someday. But for now I just need to know about a Cam setup and if I can tune this car with it, just how far can I go with stock? Thanks

 

The LT1 PCM can be tuned very easily. Who told you it couldn't be?

There are people here running cams like the CC306 on a stock LT1 with a tuned LT1 PCM. Pick a cam, get it tuned, and don't worry about it.

 

Thanks Injuneer, I just called a shop around here and this guy was telling me about the tuning problems. Forget him. I have researched a few things by now. I was looking at the LLoyd Elliott Portswork.com, different heads and cam systems. They have a LE2 Heads and Cam package. Just shoping around for now. but any good advice on any other Heads or Cam package would be appreciated. Thanks,

 

That LE2 package is a great choice. Well known and proven.

 

Hey LearJet, Thanks,,,,I have heard good Things toooo.....yall guys have some heavy Machines going on...I only wish to get there....! Im just starting on the car. Maybe someday I will get some real action going on with it.....

 

if you cant get a dyno tune you can buy logging software and send info back and forth with a tuner and should be able to get things spot on. Dont worrry about tuning if you are going with a le2 setup. Things will be fine.
