Ive been trying to pick a good cam for my engine setup - or lack of - anyways, my setup is 93 firebird a4. a built 700r4, tci street fighter converter - supposed to stall 3000 - 3400, either a 3.73 or 4.10 rear. motor will be a stock rebuild, valve job, minor port cleanup, stock rods, im gonna spend some money on a set of nice pistons, all arp studs, sever weight reduction. im going to spend alot of money on a nicely setup valvetrain. i called comp up, they were no help, i emailed isky about thier lt1 cams around a month ago, no reply. crane wasnt of much help either. from what ive seen researching around for dyno sheets and track times, i dont want an xe cam that will peak and then fall off, to me thats like short shifting a motor. i dont want a huge cam, i want to rev it to around 6400 - 6500, make good power, have descent drivability. i would like to hit 11s on motor, cam only and at least come close to passing emissions with a good tune. id appreciate any help - thanks and merry christmas - dave

 

Cam recommendations for most buildups should be posted in an Engine Tech Forum.

Transferring - Thanks.

 

Your cam selection should be chosen according to your head flow numbers. If you plan on stock castings without any porting you have many options.
However, since you said you are looking for 11's on motor you will be looking into head porting. I would suggest either going with a custom ground cam according to your heads or the cc306 and GM847 Cam's have been proven to make really good power.

I myself am going with the GM847. Look at my sig below. That should get you into the 11's.

 

he can do 11's without heads, it just takes alot of determination
tires, suspension parts, dialing in those suspension parts, good weather, good running drivetrain, dealing with the weight issue etc. etc.

 

I agree. However, I like to have a little bit of room to work with just incase the weather is bad or I am having a crappy day at driving. If you did a cam, headers, exhaust, tune, and NOS you would be doing 11's.

I just prefer not to use the juice if not needed.
