Re: found custom cam need help

With that much lift you are going to need some really beefy springs so don't even try to run that cam with the stock ones, not saying that you would. As far as is that too much lift? I'm not sure but that is pushing the limits on a stock LT1 with the stock valve reliefs. You would probally be ok with the 1.5 rr's though. Also with that cam you will definately need headers and a good exhaust and a good set of heads. Personally I think that is a huge cam for your motor.

You'll be fine as far as running it with 1.5's. You'll just need to get it tuned for idle quality and part throttle.
