I want a cam and do not know where to start. I want a mild lope but dont have money for tuning really. But i also want good low end performance.
Help me out.

 

I'm glad you posted this, I was gonna ask the same thing. I also want a nice lope, and am having a 4000 Vig Stall put in.

 

big *** stall...you mean 3000 right?

 

No, I've never had anything less than 4400 5 disc Vigi's in my Fbodies...You can get them to keep it a little tight, but the 4000 5disc Vig is one badass Converter.

 

i'd say start with the comp 212/218 .522/.529 or 216/220 .525/.532. they seem to be a good all aroud cam with a 2600 stall.

 

What's the PV clearance on these motors? MTI's OLD MAN Cam might be a good Idea, just gotta check the lift.

 

well **** with that stall.. go for the tr224/224 .563/.563 114lsa

 

no money for a tune and a mild lope with good power.

2000 LS1 corvette cam 198/209 0.500/0.500 LSA 115.5
right now in your 4.8 is 191/190 0.457/0.466 LSA 114,
you should not have to change the springs or need a tune to use the corvette cam, just slap it in and go, should give you good low end torque with a better top end until you have the money for a bigger cam, a spring swap and a tune.

 

I hate that cam, idles like **** and has an anemic weak *** lope... I had it in my formula for less than a week and traded it out for an X1

 

maybe you had a diseased cam jk... i gotta get some clips of my truck up on the net... its sounds pretty bad *** and it idles great in my little 4.8. Good luck on finding a cam.
