im buildin a 408 stroker out of a LQ9
like my question says i got a cam i can pick up for 200 bucks
two diff ones.
will either be good for my set up?
Comp cams 240 248 .615 .608 on a 112 - $200
Comp cams 248 240 .637 .615 on a 112 - $200
sort of a budget build(college student) so im lookin for these kinds of deals..going with l92 heads, fast intake(92 or 102 and matching TB) idk if thatll help..
new to the whole LS engines
m6, or a4? is it going to be a daily driver, track car, or weekend toy? any reason you were looking at the reverse split cams instead of a standard cam?Quote:

the second cam has awful high lift, that might give you piston to valve clearance problems.
hopefully one of the stroker guys will jump in and give some good info for you.
yeah hopefully..i was worried about the piston to valve clearance..but ive heard from a couple people that either should be alright..and i wasnt necessarily lookin at it..just a member on ls1tech has them for sale...and im doin a budget build ya kno
college sucks up money..lol
and idk what im gonna use as far as tranny..i want a m6 but right now but its out of my budget..but a couple years from now? probably not ;)
her man i feel your pain. i have a good job, but house payment and supporting a wife and two kids is hard too......so since your still in college, this weekend drink a few for me ! :cheers:Quote:

haha i hear ya bro..prob not a couple beers..but ill take a couple shots for ya
and idk yet about the l92 heads..cause right now all i got is the block..still debatin as far as heads..cause id like to get some after market heads ya know
oh and frost do yall got a set up where you can tune the engine out of the car..cause i might get yall to do that after its all said and done..cause yall are the most reputable shop thats close to my house(10 minutes from the va line..15 from danville and martinsville)
No we sure don't... I tune on a chassis dyno, the street, and the track. One of those should work fine though :)Quote:

Either cam would run well. I would really look into the new TR MAxx Stroker LSXZ with 254/266 .701/.399 106 LSA. Pulls hard. :monkey:
damn..lol who makes that btw?
and aint the exhaust a little on the small side? jw lol
