I picked up a custom grind cam and I was curious to know if anyone could tell me about what range of power this cam would be for. Ive got a 5.3 t56 342 gears in my trans am

Do you know who the cam is by? My guess would be in the 2200-2500 to 6xxx range based on size and lift. If you look up cams in the 23x/24x with similar lift as yours those pretty much range in the realm of what I said so that is probably what yours is but there is no way to know without knowing who made it and what lobes it was grounded on as well as other information without at dyno tune or seeing how it performs.
That's a decent amount of lift for a shorter duration cam. These numbers suggest to me that it may be a custom grind cam. JMO
He said it was a custom grind lol.Quote:

It's streetable but with out a good stall you will be disappointed cause the bottom end is going to suffer...
