  1. Cam ?

    in Engine Tech And Modification

    Posted

    f'n moving! You have to drive a stalled car to see what it feels like. You can have the same HP/engine/bla bla and a converter can drop off .5sec off your time.

    I was running 14.2 with cam only, no headers, and a stock trans :(

    I could have been good into the 13's with a converter and my trans being beefed up.

     

    do what zippy says :)

     

    IMO it sounds like you should

    1. get your trans-shift kit /converter

    2. do the cam swap.

    3. could use some injectors, maybe flex fuel ones if this is your only set of mods

    4. Good tuning in person (this is key)

    5. go run 13.8

     

    i have the shift kit already...injectors flex fuel injectors? and the tuning in person is kinda hard since i live in MO...i will keep my stock heads now..and i guess look for a higher stall

    what are you looking to get out of a cam? better sound or faster ETs. I'm sure the thumper series cams sound great and they offer some better performance but sound doesn't make it fast. What are your goals with this truck? low 14's, mid 13's, great sounding but not so much worried about speed?

     

    you also have lifters speced out in your first post, remember you need to pull the heads to change lifters

     

    i did not know i needed them...zippy never posted anything about them....i am going with the parts that he said above....i am looking for performance....but i want it to sound like i have a cam...i want 13's mid-low...i would be happy.....would those cams above to able to? should heads be put in then as well?

    so normal driving with a TBTC will be just the same even in the gas? would a 3200...when you launch does it feel like alot of torque? or just a hard 1st-2nd shift? like having a shift kit? what would that cam sound like? i want a cam that sounds like the old cars...really aggressive...

    ok...i have 67xxx so i guess i will leave it...the gm converter is that the TBTC? or is it just a higher stall? or is it the factory one i have

     

    i dont want it to drive hard..i talked to a guy and he said if i have a 3000 stall..then it has to goto 3000 rpms to move then its not going to be a good DD

    I know there are alot of cam questions out there...i have done searching and i found a little help...my mods are in my sig...i am a DD and my future mods will not include FI...at least not now but if i do i will just do it all over again....there are two cams that i am looking at a Comp Cam and a Crower....here is what i have so far...and i know nothing about cams so basic explanations would be nice...what all is needed for these?

    Crower Cam

     

    Cam Part Number=00572=$415

    Lifters=66330-16=$231

    Springs=68304-16=$78

    Retainers=86037-16=$60

    Total $784 plus install

     

    Comp Cam XR281HR=$415

    valve train kit=$556

    retainers=$156

    springs=??

    rods=$186

    Ti retainers=$162

    new timing chain=??

    total $1475??

     

    so the question is....which would be better? i am going with a TBTC since they are cheap...whats a good price to budget for the install of the cam? thanks
