2bseen Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I am installing asm headers, volant, 3000 stall, and not for sure what size but I think 125 shot. Looking at 221/224 558/561 114 cam what ya think too much or maybe bigger. May do a little head work and put cometic gaskets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTex Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 If you are going all out, it will work. You'll definitely need programming. If its your daily driver, or you tow anything, I'd go smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

56chevywagon Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 110 lobe sep. After looking more into it, it only seems to be for Vette's and F-bodies (Camaros/Firebirds). Sorry for the mis-direction. Gen. 3 Hot Cam Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_w Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Oh, the GM Hot-Cam. I LOVE the way it sounds at idle. Both of those big cams can be put in a truck, but I don't think they'd be the best choice. I'm betting there will be a big loss of power below 2,000rpm's in either case. (It's much less noticeable in a lighweight car, than a 1500lb heavier truck) The high-lift 212/218 on a 115 seems to be a good 'larger sized' cam for daily drivers. I'm a little partial to the regular 212/218 (Comp Cams here), because of it's slightly lumpy idle... (Is it due to the 114LSA?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTex Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Is it due to the 114LSA? Partly the 114 LSA, but mostly the lobe profile. The higher lift has a more aggressive lobe, which opens and shuts the valve quicker. That means it acts like a smaller cam and has less overlap.

zippy Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 might consider a stock LS6 02' and up cam also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time seems a little low for what has been done, at least to me. How much boost is it running and what kind of head work has been done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automec1062 Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 the comp cams cam idles dead smooth at 550 rpm!!!! i was surprised that it did not have any cam lope. powerbrakeing to2100rpm the g-tech shows 2.03sec. 60 foot times mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
