New Cam-Think I got it right this time
I've been running a .498/.498 220/220 114lsa cam for about 2.5 years. This cam was a pretty bad *** blower cam for someone in my shoes 2.5 yrs ago. It is a custom grind from Crane, at the time of purchase I was on a stock shortblock, edle 1.90 heads, edle rpm int and S-Trim @ 8psi. I couldnt run any bigger of a cam without notchin the pistons. Cam has been great, idles like a champ and I even made 457rw/438tq on my 302 and 544rw/562tq (with my 331). It is good to 6k.
Now when i went to the 331, i just transfered all my parts over.
I ran the 1.90 heads and .498 cam for about 1.5-2 years in my 331 with great luck, ran deep 11s @126mph, and the car drives great. Just this h/c package wasnt ideal for a 331 (small heads and cam) not getting the full potential
Well I finally upgraded, and now have TrickFlow TW 2.02s Stage 2d, and have decided to change the cam...to something designed for this combo, and not a 302/small head/low boost.
The car has changed quite abit since i got the cam grinded for the car...this is how i sit now
331
S-Trim 12-13psi
TFS TW Stage 2 Flowing 280s/220s
Holley Systemax 2 port matched to heads
1 3/4 LTs
And the basic tb/maf that go along
After doing my homework on what would work best in my car, speaking with many diff companies...this is what I have come to, Cam Motion hit it dead on in my eyes...emailed cam motion all my cars specs, and they practically hit it dead nuts what i was thinking!
Dur-
226int 234exh
Lift-
.540int .564exh
114lsa
Good to 6500
This cam should scream with the blower, due to it being so friendly on the exh side.
My idle should be great like it was with the small cam, due to the lobe sep of 114.
Any input?
