Yea atl mentioned if my 2030 cam has that little tab which is does.. so i should be good.

My VIN's last 6 digits are 204146. According to the printout I got from my GM dealer, that 204146 is the production number. My door says the car was built in 9/93 however. Were there really over 200k 94 Firebirds built by that time, or is it more likely my car is production number 4146?

Also, quick question on the cam. I'm looking at Crane's Website for a cam and I see the 2030 (#2 listed)

I was looking on down the page, the cams it says for non-computer controlled? the (#4) H-260-2 specs look identical to GM PerfParts cam in their 3.4 crate motor. (204/216 - .427/.454) Would this cam or better yet, the (#5) H-272-2 cam (216/228 - .454/.480) be suitable for our cars? Or does "for non-computer controlled" mean it won't have that position-sensor tab or that these are too aggressive to work in our cars?

In comparison, the cam that Super Six Motorsports specs for their PowerPak is 212/212 - .440/.440 which seems a bit weak compared to Crane's. Also why would they be using the same amount of lift for intake/exhaust where stock and Crane use more lift for the exhaust?

What spec of the cam will give the motor that "lope" at idle? Is it the seperation or a combination of the lift, duration, seperation?

Sorry for all the questions.

The lobe seperation will give you that lope at ide. The powermax 2030 cam has 109 LSA. I like the idle on my cam . Its not too lopey but it lopes good enough for me.

Thanks Ryan

I see now SSM is using the Comp Cams 16-233-4 which uses a 110 seperation. I take it the more seperation, the more idle lope, correct?

damn for around $3000 I rather drop an LT1 then rebuild [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[MustangEater8251]

hehe Ryan I was actually down south today, right near sawgrass mills, if I planned ahead we coudl have met up. Though my 3.4L is gone.

[FunkZ]

I think swapping in an LT1 would take more than $3,000 unless you can find all the pieces very cheap. It's not just the engine but transmission, PCM, wiring harness, accessories, exhaust, etc.

[Ryan94V6]

It depends how big the cam is. My cam is a mild cam so the idle lope isnt too lopey but nice lope.
