who else are running really big cams?

 

i feel u on that one look at what the little 216/220 has done for me

 

could it be because u have such a big cam with a heavy a$$ truck if i was to guess ur truck dose not pull till 3500 to 4000 rpm then when shift if it fall below r around that guess what it will not be makeing power again yet.now on the spray it will be different but r u spraing it all the timer just at the track.

pm goshawk i put that cam in for him

 

for my current motor my specs are 232/234 595/598 112 but for the new combo ill be running 244/248 612/615 112+2

 

i dunno what rpm it jumps down to after it shifts..
but i street race every weekend...ive never been to the track but plan on goin in a few weeks with some friends that gotta cammed camaro and his bro has sts gto, i have been running 100 shot but i got some ricers that have some pretty good mods that i ran a few weeks ago so i put 150 in..ive just put about 2 bottles with 150..

 

CAJUNS TRUCK HAS NEVER SEEN A BIT OF SPRAY, I CAN VOUCH FOR THAT.... HE JUST HAS A WELL MATCHED COMBO, AND HE PREACHES THAT TO EVERYONE ON HERE..... I WOULD TAKE THE ADVICE.....JMO

dont forget weight reduction helps, thats where lightweight cameinto place in another thread

 

LOL guys wanting to put 230* cams in a truck with a 3K stall and stock manifolds. Get the other **** done first. You will need atleast a 3400 stall, get some pacesetters, get some heads to up the CR then go big. I would bet my paycheck it will run like *** in heavy truck like yours without the right mods. When does your truck start pulling right now? 3600? 3800? I know when I had my 5.3 with the 222/224 it wouldnt start pulling good till about 3600 Im guessing yours is close to that. With that 13.4 camaro beating you spraying a 100 shot that should tell you right there your **** isnt running right. Get oyur problems worked out first before you start going bigger. Plain and simple you dont have the mods to support a 230* cam in 325 cubes. My buddy closet redneck is going to be running a 232/234 in his 5.3 but he is also going to be running a set of milled DART heads for a 10.2:1CR, 3800 stall, 4.56 gears, LS6 intake and ALL the supporting mods not juyst a few like you have. Why are you wanting shift your poewrband even higher when you cant take advantage of it with the truck intake it dies at 5800 and with the size cam you are tlaking about you are going to be shifting at like 7K. You have to walk before you can run grasshopper.

 

agree 100 %when you go to the track with only the dirver seat and a steering wheel.i will have to try this when it get cool.

 

don't forget more cubes suppose to help but sometimes they don't
