Cams listed!

[jbradsh1]

Here are the non-DOD cams that I've become aware of with help from others:

CAM DURATION LSA VALVE LIFT

LS3 Hot Cam 219/228 112 .525/.525 (Charlie's choice)

Comp Cams 212/218 115 .558/.563 (a truck cam - good low end and that's about it)

Livernois 224/230 114 .581/.590

Comp Cams 228/240 114 .598/.589 (MANOSTEEL's Cam)

Mike @ New Era has both DOD & non DOD cams that also work well!

These cams are being promoted as good street cams with low lope and good street manners that work well with stock heads with other modifications such as cai, exhaust, tune, etc. They are, in their respective order, milder to wilder. If someone would like to add to this list please let me know and I'll edit your cam into the post. I haven't included any DOD cams (don't have specs on any yet) but these are available as well.

so your saying they are in order of least power adding to most power? What is the downside to lope? Personally, I love the sound of it but why is it "bad?" Nice thread! Very interesting.

Yes, I believe that's correct (except for Mike's @ New Era as I don't have his cam specs ... they are proprietary). Downside to lope ... well, if you want more power then more lope usually comes with that I believe. I don't think I said lope is bad it's just some want the engine to sound stock, even though it's not (more of a sleeper). But some want to hear some real lope which tells the informed listener that the beast is cammed!

question for Charlie then. Why would you want the LS3 hot cam over the Livernois cam? Livernois claims its a mild cam with little lope and should add some nice power.

I want to do an all GM cam swap tp see the gains to see if GM will continue the warranty since its all GM parts. If they say NO, then I can question them on their parts durability and many other things. Most denied warranty claims have to do with non GM parts, so I think there can be a loophole if all GM parts are used.

Cam #2 is a truck cam, its RPM range is too low for our cars. It will make a ton of low end torque, but the HP/RPM range will be lacking.

Good idea.

Is that the Comp Cam that you're referring to Charlie?

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks, I'll update my post.
