Cam recommendations?

[MP81]

I've been looking into buying a set of aluminum L98 Corvette heads to replace the stock LB9 heads.

Since the heads will be off, I might as well put in a new camshaft, since I've been wanting one after hearing half the cars at the Meet and Greet sound all lumpy and awesome.

So, I'm just looking for ideas.

I want it to sound lumpy and badass, but it's gotta be streetable too, since I drive this thing every day.

Well, what are you looking for,
Low end, High end, mild, it depends on the setup you are going to run.

i would highly recommend getting a better intake if you are doing heads and cam. no sense in doing the work twice.

Im pretty sure you could get some lope out of even a stock LT1 cam with a 305.

hope you have atleast 2000.00 your getting into a money pit job. ask joel... little things add up FAST

[JoeliusZ28]

yea. And for that kind of money... honestly dude id recommend picking up an LT1 or something and just stuffing a cam in it.

couldn't have said it better

$200 for L98 aluminum heads... Cam is maybe $300.

Install $500ish. Tune: $400 ish...

MAYBE $1500.

WMCCJames mentioned he did something to this extent with the 305 he had before, and picked up quite a bit...

[JoeliusZ28]

lemme hit you up on aim lol

[Transamsfast]

valve-springs, retainers, locks, rockers, seals
maybe...push rods.
and a new intake manifold is kinda necessary to benefit

and thats CHEAP for an install from a shop...unless its not a shop.

[MP81]

It's not a shop.

for one you dont pick a cam for sound

2 dont waste the money on a 305, for the money wasted you could have bought a roller cam 350 setup

[s.reef]

Yea, Kyle pull the 305

[Transamsfast]

305 is a money pit like the 302 in the mustang... heads...cam..intake...sound good. run like crap still. summit proved a 302 is bad was still under 300whp with all supporting mods and pretty good HCI setup.

[MP81]

Maybe I'll just build my 383 then...

Or get that supercharger done for like...$500... Haha...

[SoulTerror]

Ya I wouldn't waste to much money on the 305.
