I really appreciate all the useful info. Is that cam a custom grind or something off the shelf? I want it a little choppy like you said but nothing crazy. I haven't done much reasearch on actually how a cam works. The LSA you listed is 110+4, 4 is the amount of advance that is degreed into the cam? Also, does anyone have some dyno numbers with this cam or any 1/4 times? 212/218 .558/.563 110+4...

 

That would be a custom grind... And Yes the +4 is the amount of advance ground into the cam... As far as i know, i have never seen anyone with that cam..

 

I'm running a TSP 220/220 .581/.581 at 111 LSA, and woke up the 5.3L real good.

What I noticed with this LSA is that my midrange is very strong. I have the stock stall and the RPM drop between shifts is not that significant. It pulls strong and it isnt crazy choppy.

I recommend this costum grind cam.

 

I run the comp xr265 high lift I love it, but I'm pretty sure I should run a 3k to a 3200 stall. I would go with what blackgmc offered, it should make good low end and pull good throughout the rpm range.

 

With this cam I will also need 918's right?? Would I need new pushrods? If so, what size? I'm just looking for a cam that will meet my goals. 13sec qtr. and a good DD.

 

I would go with the PAC 1218's over the Comp 918's due to everything that I've read about the Comp's breaking. I recommend some good hardened pushrods for cheap insurance, although there's always some debate in reference to their necessity...

 

i wouldnt do any kind of spring besides duals. too many others break, even the "revised" 918's.

 

+1!!! I feel warm and fuzzy with my duals shifting at 7k occasionally and 6800 regularly...

 

Hey BlackGMC, just wonderin' where you have your cams ground at? I was thinkin' about getting ahold of Crower to grind me up one... maybe you or someone else can throw some light at me if there's a better price-for-the-product vendor. Much obliged.

 

Corey, you're running a Flowtech/Ed Curtis cam now, right?
