ok guys i need some help bad! right now i have a cam at the house specs are:
114 LSA 236/236 .565/.565
i want a cam that will lope and i know the cc306 will but if this cam will put out more power i will stick to it. more or less i just want to know if my can or the cc306 will put down better numbers.

Re: more cam help PLEASE
You can't change the lobe separation angle (LSA)... its ground into the cam. The 114LSA is going to reduce overlap = less lope. Will push the peak torque RPM down, and reduce peak HP.
Which is more important... how it performs or how it sounds (lopes)?

Re: more cam help PLEASE
well sound takes a second to performance. ill plan to run 1.6 roller rockers and unported heads but iv heard alot of good #'s coming from the cc306 on untouched heads. i know the cc306 is bigger in almost everyway but not sure how it performes compared to the cam i have at the house
Re: more cam help PLEASE
do bigger #'s always equate to better performance (withen reason i understand u can just put in a huge cam with stock heads) will the cc306 performe as good as my other cam with stock heads?

Confusing.
Re: more cam help PLEASE
Friend of mine runs the 306, 6 speed, stock heads, shorty headers, 4.11 gear. Turned 12.2 @114 last sunday. That cam puts out the high RPM HP. But low speed power is another question. It lopes like crazy,LOL.
Re: more cam help PLEASE
They may be able to make that on stock heads, but with ported heads they would be well over it
I have a friend with the hot cam and afr lt4 heads and made 390rwhp
you can have the biggest cam in the world that doesnt always mean you will make more horsepower
cause with out head work, and headers, exhaust and air intake you wont see the potinatial of the cam

Re: more cam help PLEASE
The cam you have is 236/236 the cc306 is a 230/244. Its a bad idea to run a single pattern camshaft on stock heads. Stock heads need more exhaust duration to get all the exhaust out. That is what helps make the CC306 a good performing cam. Judging by your posts i think you need to do A LOT of cam research before you make a cam selection
