lol Phinger, it just means that is a semi mild cam, a little above a stock Corvette (old times). I dont know alot, but isn LSA cams for LSOnes?

 

kenny we might just have to build up heads cam lt1s together..

 

wanna do mine? lol

i really just want it to run smooth, good, and have a lil more at the pedal.

 

ill take a look at it.. i gotta get in touch with my machine shop to get the heads looked at.. they are probably warped pretty good where are you located?

 

im in carrollwood. im probbaly gonna be pulling them off sunday night...if...i gotta have someone come down to me to pull both off at the same time because i cant get the back tube off, so im gonna pull them off simutanieoulsy and level, then remove the back tube, and reinstall the heads the same way. im not really in a rush because im gonna replace the matching lifters to the cam so it runs better overall and reduces that noise they are making from the upgraded cam.

 

the AD is advertised duration, its what gives a more accurate profile of a cam compared to people going by .05" lift numbers. shows a more accurate ramp rate.

anywho, 488 lift is with a 1.5 rocker i presume. sounds like a cam with tad more duration, but keeping the lift minimal to utilize stock parts.

LSA referse the lobe seperation angle. IC refers to intake centerline. if memory serve me, a cam with 114+4 means the cam in general is on an average 114 LSA, but the +4 indicates advance, which means the intake valve is actually on a 110 LSA, and the exhaust valve is on a 118LSA

and scott, im doing a H/C setup right now. just waiting on it to get here. i couldnt really decide what route to go with, so im going solid roller. gunna get the block partially filled, and splayed mains. hoping she can stay together to 7500, but will only go to 7 to keep safe. i had to go tamer on the cam, anything else makes too much usable power past that for me to waste.



as for being cheap etc, with the heads..i dunno what you have to spend, if you have a decent amount like 1500 or so, i would say go buy a set of lloyd elliot stg 2 heads, and he has a cam for it aswell. seems to have proven to be a solid setup.

 

well i got an lt1 block.. so im probably just gonna build up a 355 with heads and cam.. something streetable maybe around 450 hp.. lloyd has good packages but im probably gonna go with a set of afr lt4s and port them out and just get a cam made for it based on flow numbers

 

the bolts on that coolant line are like 9/16 - 14/15mm i was able to get them off in the car...might wanna try putting a wrench on one and banging the hell out of it with a hammer.

 

well if you have the $$, and can find someone to do it. find a set of old 12* SBC heads and have them converted to reverse cooling, get them worked over big time, find a suitable cam, there is no reason you shouldnt make 500+ N/A

 

i've never heard of this? you have to match the lifters to the cam in an lt1?
