recommend me a camshaft....

[Big Ray]

Hey ya'll.

I have a Vortec Gen I replacement engine that's been sitting for @ 6 years now. (I know, went through a divorce, move , etc...)

I plan on pulling the heads to check the bores for rust, and have the heads worked for a higher lift cam. Thought I'd put a cam in while it's apart. stock specs are:

• Intake Lift- .414"
• Exhaust Lift-.428"
• Intake Duration @.050"- 191
• Exhaust Duration @ .050-196
• Lobe Centerline-111

It's going in my 'burb this spring, work truck & weekend trail riding. (mild, for now!). I would like to maximize my torque #'s.

I plan on running a reworked q-jet, Wieand Stealth intake, free flowing 2 into 1 exhaust. (Edelbrock t.e.s. with a BIG dynomax pipe and muffler.


Thanks in advance, as always!

would that be a roller then?
Hydraulic, or solid?
#1 priority is low rpm torque?
what rpm range, maybe 5500 max?

I think this would be a good choice for those parameters:

or next up:

or even:

Check out the description for each, and the rpm range.

oops

Yeah, hydraulic roller, low end torque. btw, I have 3.73's and 33's (for now...)


That cam is appealing

I feel like an idiot for my lack of knowledge then...I have learned so much since! I love CK5!!!

The ramjet 350 cam is suppose to be a big boost in torque..

I'll be running the comp cams extreme 4x4 cam. It's built just for torque...starts making its torque jump at 600rpm.

From what I can tell online it's the way to go if you're looking to pull the balls off a billygoat. Let me know if you want the part number.
