If you had a choice of any cam...

(off the shelf cam)

What would it be?

My friend is buying me a cam for xmas, and I can't decide what I want. The car will have stock heads at least for a few months...I'm thinking Comp Cams XE 224/230 .503/.510.

Just get a custom cam.

208/232 .550/.560 115LSA

There ya go. That cam will keep your low end torque and give you a nice top end.

With that 3200 stall, a tune, and everything else you have, I would get a CC306 or GM847. But that is just me.

Re: If you had a choice of any cam...

All depends on what you want to do........ either way the only real expensive parts of a custom is running the right valvetrain parts with it, which you should do anyways.

The 847 is not a bad way to go, nor is the Hot Cam all depends on your application. I'm not a big fan of the CC306 since it doesn't take me much to smoke that cam.

I need a friend who is going to buy me car parts for christmas!

Re: If you had a choice of any cam...

Well, I do not want to shift over 6500 RPM's. And I want to go fast, and have a lopey idle

What would I be shifting at w/the GM847?

Reasoning? Better curve/more power than the XE grinds?

Dammit Mindgame I already have a black antenna. Hell I'd go for a tour of your garage for Christmas instead.
