What cams is everybody running

**98formy** · 08-01-2007, 05:25 AM

JUst curious, but what is everyone running for a cam, and if you are, what size and why did you choose that one.

**juiced99ws6** · 08-01-2007, 09:11 AM

I am running a 230-236 dur. 580-590 lift on a 114 LSA. I chose mine because I was willing to sacrifice some driveability for a larger cam and the cam was ground the way it was because I wanted a cam that would do well with my bottle.

**mrr23** · 08-01-2007, 02:29 PM

vinci 099

DUR @ .004" 294* / 302*
DUR @ .050" 232*/ 240*
LIFT .551/.551
OVERLAP 64*
LSA 117*

i chose it because it fits my needs. big enough for my 408 without the tuning hassles associated with close LSA. i may sacrifice a little peak power, but i'll get a longer rpm range of usage.

maybe if more people post up, the mod gods that be might make this a sticky for others to savor over.

I run a MS4 cam. But I can't recommend anything for you because you need your Signature filled out even if your stock so we can see how your cars setup.

**Killer_bluebird** · 08-02-2007, 06:44 PM

MS4 here too baby!!!

**Mr. Luos** · 08-02-2007, 06:45 PM

**slims00ls1z28** · 08-03-2007, 05:22 AM

MS3 was going to get MS4 but got scared when I heard a few things about piston/valve clearance and didnt want to risk it. On 114 LSa for Nitrous use.

**nhraformula** · 08-03-2007, 08:03 PM

Comp Cams 224/224 581/.581 114 lsa.
i wanted a good mid range cam that has decent manners.

**KansasZ28** · 08-05-2007, 12:39 PM

What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting. I want to get a cam down the road but as this is my daily driver I don't want to go to extreme. I have heard that 224/224 is a good starter? I want to run nitrous down the road but don't want my cam to only work well while on the spray. My car is stock now minus the y-pipe dumped over the rear axle, and the free ram air mod.

**theslow00** · 08-06-2007, 04:06 AM

a lot of ppl run the 224 cam it is a great starter cam, lots of torque.

here is what im putting down w/my 224...

Mods: SLP Lid, SLP Bellow, Comp 224, Patriot Stage II heads (59cc), FAST90/90 (ported), LT's/ORY, SLP LM, HP Tune...

**KansasZ28** · 08-06-2007, 12:43 PM

Those numbers look nice, I would be on stock LS6 Intake and stock heads... so I doubt I would be anywhere near those numbers. Did gas mileage drop significantly?

Comp Cams 223/227 .637/.640 110 LSA

**vettenuts** · 08-06-2007, 04:47 PM

I am running the Vinci 056, 216/224 0.551/0.551 115 LSA. Nice sleeper cam, idles good and isn't a bear in traffic. Nice flat power curve. I would have liked a cam with more lope to it just because I love the sound, but this little cam has met my needs thus far. I was also trying not to go too wild so my wife would still drive the car.
