dantwomey Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 My plans for my SS are slowly coming together. To date I've done an Outlaw CAI, PCMforless, Corsa Touring, and a Zippy kit. All these upgrades are part of my plan to build a good foundation for a daily driver Radix truck. I have three pieces left to add before the Radix goes on. These are headers, TC, and possibly a cam. The header choices are pretty simply for me. In the near future I'm pretty sure I'm going to put a set of ASMs on. The TC I'm going to install is a very streetable 2600-2800 stall from TCS. And last but not least is a cam. I've read alot of good things about LPE cams for our trucks. The LS1-GT2-3 has gotten good reviews over at LS1Tech but I am open to other suggestions. Thoughts anyone? Regards, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdivr Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 That looks to be a pretty good cam, you might look at vinci's site, they have some really good cams also. Their 045 cam, the "Trucker" is supposed to be pretty good. Those are the 2 that I am looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantwomey Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 It be nice to know what the specs are. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lingenfelter offers one of the best street camshaft available for the LS1 engine. This camshaft works great with six speeds or automatic cars. Tests have shown 25-30 HP improvement over factory LS1 camshafts with out reducing street driveablity. Camshaft specifications: 207/220 duration @ .050 .573/.580 with 1.7 ratio rocker arms 118.5 CL. Also sold in a kit with springs see LS1-GT2-3KIT Regards, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantwomey Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Here's an interesting cam reference page. Regards, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBSS Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 From what I understand that cam was designed in a joint endeavor between Magnuson and Lingenfelter to be used with the Radix, so it is an excellent choice. BlownChevy is running this cam, I believe, with good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 that specific cam from lingenfelter was designed around the radix and is probably one of the best street cams for the radix... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2Racer Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I'm running the Thunder Racing CheaTR cam in my H2 now. Advertised specs are 214/230 with .601/.578 lift. Duration specs on the cam card were 215/232.5 on a 117 lsa. I'm not running headers and I only lost a 1/2 pound of boost with the same 2.9 pulley. This cam will crutch the exhaust flow pretty well if you don't want to go to headers. This cam with the stock 3.1 pulley pulled as well as the 2.9 pulley did before but gave a lot better power when not in boost. With the 2.75 pulley this combo gets it done 8.5 psi in warm weather is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the CheaTR is very boost friendly and sounds like a dinky cam. My CTS-V sounds more aggressive at idle. Also, the CheaTR keeps about 15 inches of vacuum at idle. Stock cam on the LQ4 does about 18 inches. I doubt the 224/227 will do that. Of course the 224/227 should make more power on a NA engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
