03TNSSS Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'm thinking about putting a cam in my truck pretty soon, and just figured I'd get some opinions first. My friend had the same cam in a 05 GTO so idk if it would be good for me or not. It is a HPE (Horsepower Engineering) C-CAM, 236/238 duration, .601/.605 at .050 lift, 112 LSA. He says he bought a cam kit that came with 7.400 pushrods by Trickflow, triple valve springs with keepers and retainers by Patriot Performance, a new crank pulley/ bolt/ and belt. With a set of LT headers and a CAI would this setup be possible?! Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 we could carry a GTO in our bed's. that cam is too much, what are your other mods and what do youi plan for the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Lamanna Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 you'll need a big stall for that cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 imo with a loose stall and those other mods your truck will definately haul ass though. mill the heads a but to up the cr to 10.5-11.0 to 1 ud pulley and supporting intake/exhaust mods and youd run some good times for sure.

Fireman31 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 plan on adding rockers to that list at the very minimum.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozer Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) I like it a lot . I have a 3400 9.5 stall. Drives great around town but on the freeway it sucks in D no power to chug along at lower RPMS. So unless I do 75 I finfd my self in 3rd doing 65. But the pay off is the big hit of power you get over 3500 rpms all the way to my 6800rpm shift point. My cam 233/239 .605 .600 112LSA in a 9.26CR 408. It has a mean lope at idle also. I would consider this cam very very streetable. Edited August 1, 2008 by dozer (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mean05 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 i have around the same sized cam and i love it, 60' sucks with the 3000 stall but the nitrous cures that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03TNSSS Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks alot guys! I appreciate the tips! As for now I don't have much done. Just a set of 13" Magnaflows, a K&N drop in filter, and a Hypertech programmer (BOO!) But when I do something, I plan on all or nothing! Plus I just love the sound of a big cam! lol! Oh yeah and I did think about a converter/ shift kit & servos. Do you really think I'll need new rockers to run that cam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03_SS_22 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 i have around the same sized cam and i love it, 60' sucks with the 3000 stall but the nitrous cures that wouldnt advancing it help on the bottom end? how would a high stall effect it?

zippy Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 If you do that you'll want no less than a 3400 stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help! if you had or have supporting heads that are high flowing like l92s stage 2's like mine, 11:1 cr and a 4k stall , that bi_tch would hall azz, i am already talking to patrick G about another spected cam for my setup which i have a 232/238 cam, and it kicks azz.you'll loose some driveabilty but fawk it lol.. on another note my lift is also higher than that but not by much. this cam foresale? if so pm me. might be interested.

03_SS_22 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 yes mine is advanced by 2 degrees by the ground or 2 degrees after? i wanted to go 4 degrees advanced on my grind. i want something similar to joe's l92 setup but a lil more aggressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 With a cam that big advancing it isn't going to fix it. The difference in advancing or retarding a cam is fairly minor. Just buy enough stall to work with the cam or get a different cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
