Building a 11:1 408 with rectangular heads for a nnbs 1500 4x4 and looking for cam option that will make decent torque. I was told these heads are a bit lazy below 3k compared to a cathedral but my time frame doesn't allow me to send out my cathedrals for a full cnc. Would like to stay stock stall or as close to stock as possible. Tranny already upgraded to 4l80. Thanks in advance!

 

Call proheads.com and ask and ship time.

 

Worried about torque when already going to a torque friendly 408 size motor?

Just kidding.

 

I hear ppl on this forum often suggest contacting Pat G to get a cam spec'd. Not sure how to help you get in touch with him.

However, Tick Motorsports spec'd a cam for my 408 with square ports. I think it was $409.

 

I keep hearing the pat g thing too lol. I called BTR and the guy was recommending a truck cam for a cathedral port 5.3 and I asked what the power range would be since I will have 80 more cubes than a 5.3 and he had no answer lol. I'm just worried that I won't be happy but I'm coming from a turbo 5.3 that had 0 bottom end until the turbo lit up.

 

What are your goals with it? You want a nice DD type setup or going for full 8000rpm race mode? Staying NA?

 

I got a custom spec cam by ljms for boost if your interested
