I guess what I meant was that he can go bigger without the adverse effects. What is the 6l cam specs anyway? I thought they were in the 2xx range anyway.

 

196/207, .479/.467, 117 -2.

 

That's exactly what I'm looking for...the "get in and go". I'm also interested in a little less seat pressure to try and be kind to the valves. The info that Richard at WCCH posted is interesting though....although starting up and driving off on one of our winter mornings is a tad bit chillier here than in sunny CA

I've heard that the LS6 springs are good up to .570ish with a lazy cam lobe...Lingenfelter sells them with one of their cam kits that has a lift in that neighborhood.

Thanks for all the input so far, keep it coming

 

I've had no problems with my 918's with get in and go. I never wait for it to warm up. I've had mine in for about 8,000 miles so far and it gets pretty cold here too.

 

The cam in my signature is the only cam Ive had but I love it. It has a slight lope and is well mannered and pulls pretty damn good up top with my 2500 stall.

 

WCCH, what lift are the manley springs good for? and would the comp 918's be able to hold up on .581 lift since you said max should be about .580? these are manley 221423 springs too, BTW i think you could still have a really decent daily driver and go a bit bigger than 216/220 or whatever but thats still a really nice cam for mid range and keeps fair low-end with your converter. white, i hope i never get to the point with im unsatisified with how my truck performs too much...getting old must suck!! good thing i still have a full head of hair and no gray to be seen, too bad everyone else in my family is bald and i seem to have that in my furture though, i guess with time preferences change..

 

I still love it, been doing a little more tuning, and its smoother. Just gets old sometimes when youre sitting at rad lights half asleep and your head keeps bounsing off the window. I still wouldnt trade it, and still want to build a big nasty 408 in the next few years. After my 76 is done, I guess Ill just get used to it, kinda like women are agrivating, but the punanny makes the sacrifice worth it

 

Yea...seems alot of guys over there like the high lift Comp 212/218 on a 115...

 

ahh the punanny, it does make a woman worth it...i hope my girlfriend stays uninterested in my truck and doesnt read this..
