Quick question. I know a lot of you are running the comp 306 cam. Is it possible to run it in a stock head/piston LT1? I've always thought it was, but the tech guy at comp said no. Details below.

I ask because I bought a 383 stroker with KB -12cc pistons and stock/home ported heads running 10.5:1 compression with the hotcam in it. I want to throw the 306 in there for now untill next winter when I go custom grind and some AFR heads. I called the guy at comp to make sure the lift wasn't gonna be too much and slap a piston with the valve. He told me the 306 is not compatible with a stock LT1 and that the clearance is for me to figure out.

Well, before I pull the heads to check with clay and a micrometer and all that BS I thought I'd ask you guys. p.s. this will be with 1.6 rr's also.

 

You'll be fine.

 

you'll be fine. piston to valve doesnt start becoming an issue until 60x lift and/or under a 112 lsa

 

thanks for the back up. I thought I would be fine, but when numb nuts over at comp said it wouldn't work in a stock LT1 I got all paranoid and decided to double check everything. Thank you for the help
