My neighbor decided to put a cam in his 93 LT1 6-speed today.. So we tore into it and got the cam out and now we need to decide on a cam... He is going to leave the heads stock with the stock manifolds for now but LTS will be put on in the near future... We want some of your opinions on what setup ie.( springs,cam,guide plates etc) you have ran or are running that worked out good... He wants to make power and still maintain some street maners as well... I thought about the 847,cc 306,or the cam ion solton runs 233/239 on a 112 with 569/577 lift... All of these cams have produced good results but i am still looking for something else maybe....

Thanks in Advance

Chris

 

if he wants good street manners my XE224/230 fits the bill....
i would not go bigger than 230/236 if he wants street manners...

also what gear does he have? a 4:10 would increase driveablity and help keep the car out of the lower rpm range (<2000)

 

Crower makes some NICE cams.224/228-112LSA 108ICL mid .550 lift was one I run with Very good results .Good power and manners (beat a few 383's with it) Call Dave Crower he may suggest something completely different--He knows cams--unlike some Salesman you get on the phone with other company's.

 

Thanks guys for the replys and the car has stock 3.42 gears.... He wants to make good power and street manners are not a huge concern... He drives one mile to work .....

 

GM 846

Combine this with some:

1.6 Pro Magnum rockers
7/16 rocker studs
cc 987 springs
titanium retainers

 

GM847

 

whats the difference between the GM846 and the GM847? just lift?

where do you get those also?

 

One is 214-224 duration, and the other one is 236-242. You can order either one from www.paceparts.com

 

Just to clarify:

GM 845 214/224 .488/.509 112
GM 846 222/230 .509/.528 112
GM 847 234/242 .539/.558 112

The last three digits (ex.846) are from the total part number. These cams are available from your local Chevy dealer and are ground by Crane cams.

 

that is good to know, thank yall for the help.

so would yall say that the 846 is the closest to the 306?

 

um no...230/236 would be relatively close...

 

which one would be the best if i wanted to stick with something close to the 306?

i dont know much about those cams.
