  • What kind of gains could I expect to see from this cam on my LT1?

    Duration @ .050 Lift
    230/234 .528/.539


    I'm not to good with cam specs but this cam's operating range is around 2800-6200, I'm guessing it is something like the CC306 just with more low end power right?

        The "split" between the intake and exhaust seems a little narrow. The LT1 generally want at least 6deg more exhaust duration. To determine how "lopey" it is, you also need the spec for the lobe separation angle (LSA). That will tell you how much overlap there is, and that's what determines how much lope there is at idle. I run a 230/242 114LSA 0.590/0.590 and its very smooth at idle. But if you put the same cam in a 350 and decreased the LSA to 112 or 110, it would be a more aggressive lope at idle. It would also lose some bottom end torque, and increase top end HP.
