Hey guys,
Im in need of help with choosing a cam. First of all, this is gonnna be in a 71 camaro with a lt1/4l60e combo. The 4l60e will be done by ........ and have a 2800 stall. The lt1 will have p&p heads (in.260 ex.197), intake is port matched with heads 58mm throttle body, headers (still looking for em), true dual 2 1/2 exhaust.
well thats a quick list of the main parts.

The cam i had in mind was this one from combo motorsports:

Has any body used it???
What is the streetability like???
Where do you shift with it (rpm)???
Dyno???

Comp Cams 224XL Camshaft 224/230 duration @ .050", .536"/.544" lift with 1.6 rockers.


sorry it was long, i just love to Actively Seek Knowledge or ask alot of questions....

Thanks

anybody??????????????????

 

An excellent combo. You won't be sorry.

 

That cam should work well with an auto and 2800 stall on that car, IMO.

 

what kind of rwhp #'s do you guys think i can put out with that combo. I was thinking in the neighborhood of 375hp and 350tq with a really good tune and peak power should be at about 6100-6300 i hope or less, which is where i would shift at.

Thanks

With decent heads, intake, exhaust, and tuning I would say your goals are attainable/reasonable. With that cam in particular make sure you concentrate on the exhaust, a restriction there will cut the RPM potential short. Full length headers, if possible, helps immensely on the scavenging side. That cam should behave exactly how you are expecting. If everything comes together right the flat, wide powerband of that cam should work great with an auto.
