  • Is a good cam for my car?

    I emailed comp cams and asked them what the best street cam for my car is and they wrote "You could use our part number 76-801-9 cam. It has 255/262 advertised duration and 200/206 at .050. The lift of the cam is 517/498 and it has a 112 lobe separation" is this sound like a good cam? I have 1999 Camaro M5, RKSport Whisper Lid, Dynomax muffler, Jet Stage 2 module, RKSport headers comming soon. Thanks a lot guys!

    I dont like it. Try getting a cam with a little more duration.

      weak, but shouldnt cause problems. Go do cam research instead of writing "What would be a good cam for me?"

      If you're not willing to go learn, you don't deserve a cam... If you have problems with it, you wouldn't know where to start.

        WHAT! [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] More than 255/262!!

        No one has even come close to suggesting a cam with that much duration.

                OK, re-read it. Trying to multi-task and blew over the second part.

Thanks

                        This cam 206/212 112LS might raise the HP and TQ up in the RPM but it will still have more low end TQ then stock. It sounds like a decent cam.

                          I think 206/212 114lsa might be a better cam for n/a.
