Who's running FI w/a cam???

How many miles on your setup?

What oil do you use?
What valve springs were used if known, 3 bolt or single?

Interested in seeing how many FI guys are running cams, seen several topics indicating cammed LS3 aren't making it past 30-50K ODO...

I will be so I can't personally provide input but I do know I have several people I know that have 60-80 on their 2010s FI with a cam and no problems.

I am cammed with a Magnuson. It is not my daily driver. If you use the search button, you can see a TON of different setups. Alot of what you decide to use will depend on your tuner or shop that is doing the install. Are you planning on doing the work yourself?

Truthfully, it is hard to think of any of my customers with blowers that do not have a cam.

69K miles here, running Maggie on stock pulley (for now) and cam--9K with the Maggie and cam, over 35K cam-only. 'Been running Mobile 1 since day 1, but about to try the Joe Gibbs oil.

I've had an aftermarket cam since I got the car. One in the OEM motor and have one in the built motor now. I ran the AFM lifters in the L99 hard for 20K or more. Never had a problem with the valvetrain . Always ran comp 928 dual springs.

I'm getting cammed this Spring and NEP is doing the work. I'm not so much interested in the set ups as I've read over a ton of them. I'm more interested in the success and longevity owners have had with their set ups.

Whats your preference in cams, single or 3 bolt? Valve train hardware company of choice?

Neumatic · 01-16-2014, 10:05 AM

3 bolt cam, don't even consider a single bolt cam.

My car has had a cam for about a year now, ~7-8k on it. In the process of installing a magnuson now.
