Which cam

Crane 210/224 .479 /.518 (.511/.552 w/1.6RR) 112 LSA or LPE 211/219 .530/.560 w/1.6RR 112 LSA would make the most power under the curve.

Thanks

 

I doubt that anyone will be able to answer this question: I guess that you would need to have dyno results from many who have those cams and since they are alot alike, the results of your query would likely be unclear. JMHO

 

I agree.

Out of curiosity, what are the flow specs for the heads you will be running with this cam? I would really like to see a dyno once you make your selection, let us know

 

Are you comparing dyno sheets or track times?

There are lots of people that have run 11's with the Crane 227 as it makes great power through the whole power band. Don't know too many people that have run the LPE cam, but I'm sure they are out there.

 

There just was a thread about cams in the stock rev range. The crane cam is more popular, but the lpe is another good choice. As stated before its going to be a toss up on which one makes more power. good luck with you decision

 

The heads were done at CNC Heads in Florida. I do not have flow sheets but would expect 260/190 according to http://www.malcams.com/legacy/misc/headflow.htm

 

Dyno sheets. Mostly would like to know which would make the most average HP/TQ over the entire RPM range 1600-6000.

 

In that case, I would think the LPE cam would.

 

I'm not sure I know what your trying to accomplish. If you already have a M6 with a Hotcam, how much more low end grunt do you need as compared to just bringing the rpms up a little to get the motor up on the cam? It seems like a lot of work for maybe a small gain. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm just curious.

 

Carl Capria---used to be on this site many moons ago (before he went with 396) had his heads CNC'd in Fla. flowed around 270 @ .5 and around 200 exh @ .55. along with 2" INT and 1.57 EXH. valves. His car a 97SS vert.

With 227 cam and LTs he dynoed baseline 323 w/o tune, 347 w/ ED Wright mail-order tune and 357 with a dyno tune.

I'm running the 227 in my 97SS with ported heads and larger valves, but I haven't any idea what it would dyno.

The cam suits me since I don't race. Plenty of stump pulling power and quick throttle response while easy to tune and idles like stock. I am limited to SLP shorties becuase of emisssions cops. But as more than one have said, the dyno numbers aren't the only things to consider when comparing performance. JMHO

 

No offense taken, I would like to make the car more of a sleeper. With my combination of Hot Cam, Long tube headers, and Corsa exhaust, you can really tell it's cammed. The ability to have 345-360RWHP and a "stock" sounding idle really appeals to me.

 

Both are good cams, do not stress over deciding between the two just pick one and go fast.

 

I ran 12.0 @ 115 w/ a 1.75 60' time w/ a 3750lb race weight w/ the 211 cam, LPE ported LT4 heads/intake, 1.6 rockers, Hooker LT's, ORY, 3.73 gears and BFG DR's. Track was at sea level in 40* air. Dynoed 370rwhp and 355rwtq.

 

just wondering since im looking for a cam that can "pull stumps"
would the 227 be a better choice than this lunati cam

i got the lpe 216 and i love it! good manners and great power..
