that would benefit BIG TIME with some good tuning. big cam bro. dont know who lied to you and said that was a smaller camshaft lol.

 

yea, i got the comp cam...i have no clue what the specs are on it, the papers are at my mechanics house still.

one small problem tho...at a stop light/park idle, it seems like its gonna stall out feeling, and...fucking oil pressure is wayyyy too low...almost at that red line, but as soon as i hit the gas...its at half way and stays there pretty much while driving. weird shit.

 

yeah weird. Watch it and be careful.

 

you need tuning... a vaccum sucking cam like that needs to have the computer tuned to match for added air and fuel and to correct your idle... what rpm does your car idle at? that could be affecting oil pressure if your idle is too low

 

What is the full list of stuff you had done to the car? What aftermarket parts did you put in other than the cam? Any valvetrain work- 1.6rr's, springs?

Hmm, that actually leads me to a question for the lt1 guys here- can you run a cc305 with 1.5rr's and stock springs without trouble? I did a search on camaroz28.com and it seems like you can but I found no definite answer.

 

would not recommend stock springs... im sure you could but why risk it? the 305 is a much bigger cam than stock and it will put more stress on the stock springs... an easy fix if the lt4 valve springs.. they are cheap

the valvetrain isnt something to cheap-ass your way through, a lotta bad shit can happen. even with a small cam you should upgrade as much as you can... the stock lifters will take a beating, and i havent found a good reliable upgrade, stick with a comp stock replacement or just keep your stock ones, but with springs stronger is better... same with pushrods, cmon, some nice comp 987 double springs are like 75 bucks and the hardened pushrods are maybe 100.. thats more than enough

you dont have to pull the heads to replace valve springs, use a magnet to hold your valves out of the cylinder heads, or just turn the engine to TDC at the cylinder which valve springs you are replacing so the valves dont fall in.

 

oil sending unit is new, oil pump is new, pressure is only low at a stoplight idle after its been warmed up for a while. while driving its almost perfection all the way around.

 

+1

 

well im gonna be replacing the whole heads anyways as soon as i get the extra cash.
