im in a cross road on which cam to go with for my LQ4 motor. i plan on getting double valvesprings along with 7.4" pushrods in either cam choice. will be doing some angle valve job on the 317 heads as well and thats it in regards to the valvetrain. for the cam i dont plan on revving it above 6500 and dont really want to reaplce valvesprings every 20k miles so the cams above the lifts are below or just at .600.

i know a handful of ppl run the 228R but what about lunati cams? the one im particularly looking at is the Voodoo Hyd Roller Cam - LS1 LS2 282/288:
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 282/288
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 232/238
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .599"/.601"
LSA/ICL: 113/109
Valve Lash (Int/Exh): Hyd/Hyd
RPM Range: 2400-7000


thoughts?

 

The voodoo one will a bigger stall then the tsp. But first questions. what's the lq4 in rcsb ecsb ccsb 2x4 4x4 gears what u plan to do with it tow race etc.

 

what do you mean bigger 'stall'? the lq4 is going into a 98 firebird....racing.

 

He means a "higher stalling" torque converter.

 

Okay I figured that was what he was asking. I plan on getting something like a 3400 stall in the near future.

 

Get a 3600 and do that first...

 

i'll do that evetually. here's my check list for the motor and please feel free to let me know if im missing anything else or the parts i have would be in conflict with each other:
-lunati cam 60512
-either Patriot Gold LS Dual Valve Spring & Titanium Retainers Kit or lunati Gold Dual Valve Spring Kit
-7.40" pushrods
-ls7 oil lifters
-ls2 lifter trays
-ls2 timign chain
-ARP head bolts
-FELPRO head gasket kit
-ported oil pump
-typical cam install kit

im reusing the LQ4 rockers as they're the same as the LS1 correct? anything else please let me know

 

I have that Voodoo in my LQ4 and you will love the sound of it, it's a hard lope. I was running it with a 3200 stall with a supercharger...
