a GTP( Gallant Technical Performance) custom cam. This is the Stage 5 cam. It is cut on a 114LSA 236/236 .525/.525 w/a 1.5 stock rocker. It jumps to a .565/.565 w/ a 1.6 rocker.

what would be the characteristics of this cam. is it comparable to the cc306? i noticed the 236 on the intake side is more than the cc306. how would this cam run? all help is greatly apprecaited

 

Were you planning on running this NA or FI. Looks more like a FI cam on a 114 LSA but im not sure. Someone else may chime in with a little more cam knowledge.

planning more on NA atleast for now

 

in a N/A motor it'll idle nicer than one with say a 112LSA, but it all depends on the overlap... From what I've seen with cams it'll idle rough, but not rediculous. you'll probably need a decent converter (2800+) to take full advantage of it. You'll also probably need decent heads for full advantage. I would also suggest a 3.73 gear at least. But With good heads and all the upper end mods to go with it I would expect close to 400 RWHP. That's my guess. I could be way off though.

Is it a 114 +4? Not familar with their cams this is why i ask this.

i wont have to worry about a stall due to an M6 but i was curious where the power band might be. like the cc306 is about all above 3000. any clue where this power band might be. as for the 114 +4 i have no clue i just found this already ground cam online for sale. thanks for help

 

If i were buying a cam i think i would want to know if there were 4* advance built into it or not. Most Lt1 cams have this from what i understand but im not sure about the cam you are talking about. I think this thing will pull from 2500 to 6200 or so but i dont think it will make power up as high as the CC360 or the GM847. Not to say that it wont make good power under the curve but this just means i dont think you will have to turn this cam as high as the 306 pf 847 which will be good if you plan on putting this in a stock bottom end car. I see no problems with this cam as a daily driver but again, wait till someone else chimes in.

Most LT1 cams have a "split pattern", with more exhaust than intake duration, for a reason. That being the relatively poor exhaust flow of the heads plus a relatively restrictive exhaust system. The only way I would run a cam like that on an LT1 is if the heads had hella good exhaust flow and I was using open headers. Otherwise, it will need more exhaust duration.

thanks for all your help guys, i think im going to hold off on this cam.

 

Good post. I still have alot to learn but im gettin there Its people like you that make this happen. Thanks
