Opinions on the TSP cleetus mcfarland bald eagle NA LS3 cam
Hi guys,
What's your take on the TSP bald eagle NA cam? Anything else you recommend? I want a cam that's not going to beat up my valve train, I won't be drag racing but instead just cruising the highways. I've got a 2014 Camaro 1SS LS3 with 98k miles with the following mods. I seafoamed the engine with 4 spray cans through the brake booster line going into the intake manifold to clean out the top of the engine. Dyno Steve tune with SCT x4 KN CAI with metal inlet tube I wrapped in aluminum heat wrap tape. NGK TR6 iridium plugs Taylor 8.6mm plug wires DNA motoring 1 3/4" long tube headers No cats with factory NPP exhaust with fuse pull AAM 3.91 gears |

I think 229/242 600' 600' wont be too bad for your valvetrain. You could get away with single springs too.
Its a bit large for your needs, but nothing bad. I would run it. With a good tuner, you'll be alright with this cam if you ain't a *****

450/425 to the wheels is my guess...

Depends mostly on the dyno and what other supporting mods you have and what fuel.
Anywhere from 445-480...

You have electric steering, maybe 5 rwhp.

Not when you have electric steering ( cost vs HP gained) I would rather spend that money elsewhere on the build.

Do you recommend maybe thinner head gaskets to increase compression? Go from the stock .50 head gasket to say a .40? |

Trunnion kit. Personally, I wouldn't do a cam swap without it.
