I thinking of getting a cam with these specs

[Book'em Dano]

232/229-595int/590exh @ 114LCA


Should handle my small 110-115 shot just fine

What do you think?

[Book'em Dano]

What is a nice set of dual springs realatively inexpensive to go with? I may still get some 918s but havent decided yet

[Black02SS]

Should work ok. Most of the time you want a split pattern cam for n20 applications, but if you aren't spraying more then a 200 shot, I wouldn't worry about it. The Crane springs or Patriot springs are nice. I ran the 918's for some time with no problems at all with a .581 lift.

I cant spray too much as I have a nice big stall. I have 918s with my current cam 221 227 561 569 114, no problems whats so ever. I have ported heads on the way.

If you have a set of ported heads on the way, I would go ahead and have them machined for dual springs. Probably want to stay away from the Comp 987's. I am running them with no problems so far, but have heard mixed reviews on then (valve float).

so your gettin some heads then huh dano :D, from who and what stage and what heads; 5.3's, 5.7's, ls6?

i already gave you my answer on the cam and springs ;). no way i'd keep my non-blue strip 918's; with your old cam or this new one.

i thought you said you had the non blue strip 918's :loser:. either way with the cam your planning the cran duals will better serve your purpose?

[Book'em Dano]

Maybe another cam in the selections

either W1 or FM9

w1= 227 234 579 581 116
F9 = 232 236 585 598 114

[Beast96Z]

There is no way I would go reverse split when you are even thinking about having the jug on the car. Reverse split cams are putting out lower low-end numbers than the foward splits anyway. Go with the F9 if you have enough clearence. It'll be a hell of a motor cam and will love the spray.;)

[Book'em Dano]

Should have enough clearance :think:

[WS6TransAm01]

im not a fan of the reverce split cam.. but its your car.

Go with the dual springs, will give you better reliability with that sise cam.

[Book'em Dano]

and the rev split has left my mind

what rev split? :dunno:

[Beast96Z]

Reverse split means the exaust duration is smaller than the intake duration. For example 230/224. I said "should clear" on the fact of not knowing if your heads are going to be milled or what other aspects might throw a kink into P/V clearence. Unmilled heads and the F9 +4 degrees of advance on a 112LSA would be my choice.

I said What rev spilt b/c that cam is no longer my choice

btw the F9 is on a 114

[1999Z28M6]

Why not the TSP 231/237 it puts down great power on the motor and loves the spray.

I thought they were on 112 LSA

Texas Speed can custom order you any cam you want with any LSA you want. If you wanted a 231/237 on a 114, they could do it.

The 918 springs are only good to a .600 lift and let me tell you first hand that my .592 lift cam broke one in halfin less than 100 miles of easy driving. best go with a dual spring. Just my $.02

[Book'em Dano]

I am going to try and back down off the lift a lil, I wanna stay around 580ish

~350 is a pretty good price for what you get :dunno:, certainly a better bargain then the 921's. you can check out the PP duals, TSP sells them for 295 i believe and there good for .650 lift.
