Blower cam recommendation - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

BullF-16 · 05-16-2012, 10:23 AM

Looking for opinions on this cam that we may go with on my build. Here is the excerpt from an email i received about the cam. It is from a very well respected Cam guy. Hke will have the final recommendation based on the valve train etc.

motor is LSX 427, Mast Black label 305 LS7 6 bolt heads, CR will be about 9.4:1 running a D1SC blower for a year then F1X

James,

On the attached sheet you will find the 231/246 .675/.652" 116LSA +4 camshaft recommendation (lift shown with 1.8 rockers). This profile features EHI Lobes on the intake and LXL lobes on the exhaust. The EHI lobes were chosen on the intake because they are very fast between .050" and .200" lift, but they are more controlled off the seat than LSL lobes and they have a bit more lift. Erik may decide to substitute a more endurance-oriented HUC lobe for the intake depending on final valvetrain weight. The HUC lobe would still be 231 at .050", but it would have .634" lift with a 1.8 rocker. Any questions, please write back.

That should be a good fit. Pretty much close to the limit (not knowing the pistons/valve reliefs).

Pat G is the man. Very similar to my car. I'm running a 236/246 LXL LXL
