Smile How lopey will this baby be???

I just bought a lt4 hotcam custom ground on a 110lsa. I know this baby will be lopey but how lopey are we talking about? Can it be compared to the cc306?? Also, i know its a hotcam and they are very streetable cams, but with it being on a 110lsa am i going to have any other issues? I have a 2600 stall so I know that will help a little bit. Thanks guys, Dustin.

My 306 doesn't lope very much and I have a 3" exhaust with no cats and a hooker aero flow turn down =/. Idle is set at 800rpm. I wanted more lope, but oh well.

Nope, for sure its a 306, has it stamped on the cam. Maybe I had high expectations. Its lopey, but not enough.

My buddy has a 224/230 on a 110 it lopes about as much as my 230/236. Both of our idles are at 800 for tuning reasons. Who really cares about the sound, its the amt of performance that matters.

Yea, maybe your exhaust sucks.... my old 306 would lope like a ****!! One of the best cams lope I had ever heard. Try running straight headers and set the idle to 600 and THEN tell me it doesnt lope.

Oh it lopes, I never said it didnt, I guess I just felt disappointed. I have a very free flowing exhaust, mine is actually louder than my buddies with his cutout open. Like I said, probably just had high expectations after hearing my bud's big block cam lope. Guess I just wanted to be able hear the cylinders fire individually .

you're definetly going to hear it lope on a 110 lsa, i have the stock hotcam w/ 112 and straight 3" exhaust through a Hooker Aerochamber and that sucker sounds like a beast. lope at 800rpm shakes the whole car sitting still

Re: How lopey will this baby be???

Kewl, i dont mind a nasty lope at all, just warns all the other ricers and mustangs to stay away Am i going to run into any problems with this cam being on a 110 LSA, such as cam surge or anything? I know it wouldnt be too great for nitrous or any kind of forces induction but i am not worried about that bc i dont plan on using it anytime soon. Like i said before, I have a 2600 stall and this pretty much is a hotcam except for the 110lsa.
