Which Cam?

[jderry]

Anyone else?

I agree, sounds like a great cam for what you want to do with the car.



I've seen you say this on here before. I'm curious, why do you like LE's cams better than AI's, especially when using AI's heads?

LE's knowladge in cams has never steer'd me wrong. comp grinds all his cams for him. he figure his number him self. A.I. has actually sent people wrong cams that are out of spec. wrong lobe lifts. wrong lsa's so on. i was one of those guys on 2 occassions. L.E. had a gear issue a while back but was not due to his control comp was throwing wrong gear on them. thus he end'd up with the problem. How ever L.E.'s heads are not as well desighned as A.I.'s so that why i go there. iv flow'd both there heads side by side just playin around and A.I. did a better job.

Looks like your going in the right direction to building a strong running car. Remember don't cut any corners! People that spend not only the money but time to do all the small things are the ones that are rewarded in the end.

Aaaaamen. i cant tell you how many times iv had a customer in my garage with a really nice build. they get there panties in a bunch and start cutting corners and costing them selve's 2 times the money. i hate the fact that i lower my work rate to help poeple to build there rides, then they cut corners all becouse they either dont want to save for the right parts, or there overly eager to drive the car. its not like i over charge them by no means. i used to charge $95/hr when i had my shop. now i charger alittle under $30/hr. guess im going to have to stop being so nice....

It's saying it's be like 11.7, either way that should be fine with 93..


Just ordered my rockers, gaskets, and timing chain.



They're saying .006 is equal to 1 cc

so .020/.006=3.3333

58-3.3333=54.667

using that calculator, it says I'd come out to 11.85:1

that sounds about right. don't forget you pistons are in the hole alittle so your just alittle lower in compression than that. your push rods should be somewhere around 7.200 stock lenght with the ls7 lifters. (still double check and messure anyway). but you should be darn close. your heading the right direction. look into a set of impala head gaskets i cant remeber GM's part # so you may have already posted the same one above but those are thinner compressed than the f-body.

Yea thats the one hes going with, they are the iron head impala Lt1 gaskets.

Also fwiw i could not be happier woth my ai cam. It has exceeded my expectations in every way.

good deal i just had the oposite exsperiance a couple of times. most of the time i go with bullit cams. but budget cant beat A.I. or L.E.

Went to order my cam, LE only accepts money order, cash, or cashiers check....

[sman]

Seriously? Thats retarded!

[jderry]

I don't like the idea of mailing $600 really.


I would have gotten it today if they would take credit/paypal

I don't see why he would not use a pay pal account at least, you can have them directly deposit into your bank account.

[jderry]

What would you guys do?


Ship it with that $10.00 over night?

[jderry]

Any advice?

Any advice?

Did you try AI?

They accept credit, however, they're prices aren't as competitive as you'd think.

Over $100 more for just the cam.
