Question on Cam Setup

**TheKitchenSink** · 12-25-2006, 07:51 PM

Since im looking to spend my x-mas money on a cam, I want to make sure I have everything I need..and that it will work ok

I plan on getting
TSP228R w/ a 114LSA
Patriot Gold Dual Valvespring Kit
Comp Cam Chromemoley pushrods. 7.400" Length
LS6 Ported Oil Pump
LS2 Timing Chain.

Anyone see any problems w/ this setup..or would recommend I do something different? Let me know. Thanks.

there has been some talk bout the ls4 oil pump. a lot of ppl that have it say they get really good oil pressure, and its only like 63 bucks

I plan on going with the same setup in the future....excellent choices in my opinion

I would wait on the pushrods, measure the cam base circle and compare to the stock. Increase pushrod length accordingly to keep valve train quiet. Usually you will end up with 7.425" pushrods to keep the lifter preload within the stock range.
