Well after hearing my buddies 98z with the same cam and loving the sound of it over and over again i think i am going to go a head and order a gm hotcam. I think i can go with a 3200 stall later and get away with that. The whole kit is $399 and comes with cam, springs,and seats. the cam is 525/525 lift and 219 intake and 228 exhaust dur. on 112 degree centerline. that doesnt sound too bad to me.

 

That is a pretty big split in duration to not have a different lift for each isn't it? Cant beat the price though.

 

Nah...You'll love it and with your Diablo, you should be able to tune it nicely. I like the 112 lsa, that the only way to go IMO. BTW, I have my C1 cam in my shop, waiting on the stall and headwork. It's a monster 222/222 566/566 112 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

Hell, I guess I need to pull my Crane and get the ASA cam with 110 LSA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> .

 

is there anyway to just get the cam itself. or would that not be a good idea.

 

Unless you already have the LS6 springs the cam will cause valve float with the stockers.

 

I got that price from www.paceparts.com they have some good deals on that. the springs it comes with are ls6 springs and seats

Most of our heads have the one piece seat / seal on the valves like the newer LS1 heads. See if you can just order the cam and springs cheaper.

 

Greg-that sucker should sing on the rpms. You know when it comes to replace my motor, i might just bore the 5.3 .030, deck the block to zero, drop some good flat tops in it, and put ARP bolt through out the motor. If i can find a good 6.0 i use it. I am gonna put ARPs through out either motor.

 

I'm ignorant when it comes to cams, but will the hot cam throw any codes and require tuning? Will the power come at low, mid or high rpms? I am still looking for a cam for the Yukon but haven't seen any posts that would be ideal for me. I am looking for a cam with good power throughout the rpm band but more so in the lower end (I may be asking for too much). Also one that does not throw any codes and one that has a good lope to it. I want people to know that there is a cam in there! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
