cam choices :(

[highlander_69r]

well its down to the final 3 choices of cam for the vy ss

1. crane cams 228/228
2. comp cams 228/230@112
3. comp cams 224/230@114

the lift is better in no.3 but its the lsa that puts me off the cam. I currently run the crower 217 / 226 @114 and would prefer more mid to top end out of the car, plus a few more hp wouldnt go astray. then a end result of 270 to 280 rwkw (currently 255rwkw) would be an absolute bonus b4 the heads go on, and i still have to add a bigger tb and ud pulley. if anyone has had experiences with any of these 3 cams please feel free to add comments, and i am not after a stock idle:toetap: b4 any asks, the lumpier the better. fuel econ isnt a great concern but the car is still street driven so driveability is.

I have a custom cam of mine thats inbetween all of those & has stuff all overlap and produces anywhere between 270 to 300rwkw on ls1 and 300 to 330rwkw on a ls2,excellent manners and drivability :D ,fitted one to a vyss produced 290rwkw and turns the tyres wen you stand on it second gear,very sharp cam and makes power from the word go & has run 11's,one catch,works very well with 3.9's on a manuel and 3.7's on a auto :D

Idle quality is great though on the lumpy side,though will idle better than those cams you have listed and drivability is great,a converter wont hurt either,,the 3.9's would be oki,but i would goto 3.7's as everything will happen too quickly and voilently causing brutual power delivery.

Your a bad man Sonny. Everytime I start thinking I like my little 222/224 cam, I read a thread somewhere about your custom jobbie.
Ive nearly finnished tuning mine, and Ill see how I go power wise and then I might make a change!!

Can you pm me a price for the cam please mate. I assume the 918's are still suitable with this?
