I have a question? I have a 94' Trans Am with 120,000 miles

At the Track this year I ran 13.666 at 105.8 in 90* heat with only 3.73, cold air (k&n) , and cut out.

since then I added 2800 stall, shift kit, nitto drags, all the free mods, hpp+, descreenend Maf, and a couple more im probley forgeting

would this be to much cam with 1.6 rr's for my car Comp LT-1 Xtreme Energy Cam Dur@.050 236-242 Lift .521-.540 (.556-.576 w/1.6 rockers) LSA 112

I would put hooker long tubes on too. Any guess's what it would run with this set up?

 

I didnt expect anyone to answer to this

but any ways do they make nos seat covers in green

J/k any help will be apreiciated i cant spell

 

thats a huge cam.. with some heads.. can you say 11's?

 

I'd probably run a bigger stall with that cam, maybe a 3500 or so.

 

i heard lt1's wont shift into 3rd anything higher than a 2800.

Could this cam go with some mildly ported heads. 1.6 rr's and hooker lt? or still to big? what about a 355? with forged everything?

 

i HAVE THE 236/242 IN MY CAR (sorry caps)
feel free to email/IM me with any questions.
its going to rev to like 6700 at least... it will in my motor anyway, if anything rev higher in you 350
you will probobly go faster with a 230/2336 if you dont want to rev that high (if you shift at 6300)

ps- like 1 in 20 cars have the shifting problem
and bryan can fix 9/10 of them

you can also have combo match your cam to your flow numbers for an extra $130 in a custom ground cam. thats what i would do personally.

 

From what Ive learned from shopping for a cam over the past 2 months. It all depends on what you want out of the cam. A racetrack car, or a street car. Not only driveablility, but where you want the power to be. If you mostly drive on the street you want the power down low where you are using it most of the time. If you are at the track a lot and want awesome timeslips, you want high end, to get you down the track once you hit the 1/8th.

Now with that in mind, the 306 or XE 230/236 is a top end cam, sure it does increase the power down low too, but its a high duration and high lift cam for good torque down low. It will hold its own all the way to like 6700 if you were to go that far, before the power drops off one bit. The only problem is you start picking that power up later, not sure when but probly in the 3500 to 4000 range.

Next, a cam in the area of the XE 224/230 or the CC305 have a 510 max lift with 1.5s so you are keeping the compression in the cylinder, lt1s like backpressure for low end, well all engines do. This cam you will pick up the torque way down low, not positive if you will get more max torque than the bigger cam, but you get it sooner for sure, in the area of 2000 or 2500 you will be close to max torque. This cam is best for the street, since you are always accelerating you have gobs of torque whenever you need it. The power from what I hear drops off around 6200 or so on these cams.

I personally chose the XE224/230 since my car is street and strip about 20 times max but my numbers arent that important to me. I will let you know how it feels this week, should be running. Id say whatver you do, I think you know this since you asked about the XE's, go with the XE's, the lobe ramps are much steeper than the magnum cams so you get it quicker and more.

Hope this helps, do a search if you havent yet on 224/230, and 230/236 there are a few on the 224 and tons on the 236. Good luck.

 

I just installed a 230/236 in my car.. thought it's the newer grind w/ more lift.. 597/607... ground on a 110LSA. We'll see how high this makes power too. Had a CC306 before this.

PS - I installed a rev kit as well...just to make sure these lifters stay on the steep *** lobes.
