What type of cam?

[sstud]

dam that sounds good man...its got a nice tone to it especially in idle...seems like a reasonable cam and im sure i would be even happier once i installed the converter(though i plan on installing a higher stall) andthe 373...thanks alot i appreciate it

[BULLET_WS6]

just to let you know "higher stall" is not going to do shit for you... you need to stall match your cam... which by no means do i have ANY advice or know how on how to do that.. i just know that no matter what stall you pick... it wont matter unless you match it good ... have someone on here that knows what they are doing.. or rpm match one for your cam when you pick one

[Zboner]

no problem, your still looking at over 3k i would say

what you want to do with that situation is find out where you cam starts making power and get a stall to match that at all costs

well i have m6 so hopefully i never have to take on the dreaded stall matching myself.. untill i build a drag car someday.. that bitch will be autoooo

its not as bad as you think, fuck call up comp, say i want my cam to make power from 3,000 rpm's to 7,000 rpm's then get call up yank or edge and say here is my cam specs and my rearend gear and they should be a lot of help

butbut.. i like making things sound complicated... shhh lol... either way i dont have to do that for a long while.. i cant get to the tranny part of my drag car for another year or two at my financial rate

ah got ya what trans are you going with?? can i make a suggestion? go with a TH350, going to cost half as much as the shitty 4l60 and hold twice the amount of power

sweet, so its going to be a powerglide or 350. sweet man good luck with it

ok i suppose i am getting a lil too unrealistic haha...ill definitely do the cam within the next few weeks though and slowly work on converter and gears...making sure to match everything respectably

anyone have an estimate on difficulty or price of installation?

the convertor and cam have to be done at the same time.. btw

y is that?

[BULLET_WS6]

y is that?

cuz ur car will stall out too much.. i mean you can get away with not doing it.. but you reallllly have to know what to do... its safer to say you need it at same time..

[Zboner]

y is that?

it will fight you at every stop light, want to go through it and crew through your breaks

[sstud]

so now i am somewhat lost as to what i should do...i dont want to perform a task i will regret...like cam problems...is getting a converter first a better idea? somewhere around 3600 stall and match the cam up to it eventually?

[BULLET_WS6]

just save up and do both at the same time bro.. its the only way to go

"TRak" - 231/234 .640/.590 112 LSA..good cam or still a little too much?...maybe i should settle for a little less intensity from the cam...maybe like a 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA ?

[BULLET_WS6]

try and stay 112lsa or above... you go any other smaller lobe and your getting into chopsuey... the trak is slightly milder but by no means... mild... stick around a 228 @ 112 i think you will be happy with that.. and get a stall with it.. = perfection... btw check with zboner and see if he says if u need an ls6 pump and ls2 timing chain with that cam.. im really not sure what cam needs what in that range
