best cam specs

[Rhino79]

There is so much more that goes into it besides what duration it is a .050. Or what the max lift is. You have to look at the lobe profile as a whole. Then the LSA and ICL have to be right for what you are wanting to do.

The track don't lie, dynos can. What performs on a dyno, a flowbench, in a magazine may not perform at the track. That's how its always been.

Real world testing tells the tale. Look at the MPH at the 1/4 and the 1/8. How much did it pick up on the back half of the run.

I care about how it performs, I don't care about the dyno sheets. I spec cams to perform.......lol.

Heres a NF on 91. Only ran at the track once, and it was 13.3@113. Once I know my engine is healthy, Im going to big.

It sure sounds good and all but it isn't the best one out there just my 2 cents.

Who tuned that? Those numbers are VERY low, even for 91 oct. Hell, that's only 12 tq above me and i'm only running LT's/CAI/tune.

The problem is now that the night fury cam is obviously not the cam for me then because last season I ran a 12.69 1/4 without my rear end or
My tire so not sure if I am just a better driver or have a better tune or what but I don't think that this would be the very right cam for my car and it's mods

Don't let his times scare you off. They are way off from where the NF would put you. Right now my best is a 11.55@122MPH with my mods (ported heads, ported intake, CAI, headers, exhaust, 4.11 gears, slicks and skinnies). I still think there is some more left in it once I learn to shift a little better.

I justy did a 9inch kit with 3.91 gears and I have 3in exhaust and lt headers and cai along with pfadt motor mounts bc coils and I also have a tire so I am basically trying to find the best cam for my modds I already made 428 rwhp and 426 rwtq soo any suggestions would be great. thanks! I also have the m6 ls3 btw and I do like the really lopey sound although that's not the reason im doing the cam.

also any dyno graphs pictures ect would be great along with it!

There is no best cam...it varies so much from car to car, and what works for one person doesn't work for another. Find a reputable shop and let them make the choice for you...after all this is what we (sponsors) do day in and day out - we know what works and it will save you the time and hassle of browsing the forums.

With that being said, our '545' cam is very popular, it makes great power (with yours already making 428rwhp I'd expect it to do 475-480rwhp with only adding the 545 cam), but the driveability is still excellent as well. Very powerful in the low and mid range as well. Here are a few threads I've posted on it,

Thats not an auto car lol They have about 5 videos on there facebook page running 11.90s - 11.70s not one running over 120mph and they ALL dead hooked too.

SHOW me a 10sec Night Fury cam L99 stock bottomend only car and I'll shut up about it lol

[B-_-RAD]

Where's you're 10 second car? If that was an auto it would likely be faster. I know a 6l shifts faster than I can... thats for sure.
