  • Which Cam?

    I was given two recommended cams from LE.

    Which one would you guys run?

    I will need to do the same thing for both, and am planning on a Ridings 3600 this spring.

      Smaller one if its a street car, it will be plenty big enough and still keep its grunt under the curve. Also not revving to the moon keeps things very reliable on a LT1, both mechanically and if you dont have the budget for a fancy opti delete. I have a comparable smaller cam, and i would want headwork and several other things before a bigger cam.

        Probably first one, if you are doing heads now or in future. I ran that 228/236 cam from LE in my old set up very streetable shifted at 6100. You couldn't go wrong with either cam.

          x2 That's a plenty big cam for a 350 w/ stock heads, especially if it's predominantly a street car.

            Alright, they say the one with 232/240 is about the same as a CC306. I was leaning to the 228/236, but I was wondering if I should just get the "larger" one while I'm doing it.

              What mods do you have now? Are you planning on heads in the future?

                I am going with the 232/240 cam and some trick flow heads. It should be done by christmas if you want to come check it out sometime if that will help at all.

                      I would not recommend doing heads later. Save up and do it all once. Otherwise youll have something you wont be happy with in the meantime and it will kill the fun of it.

                        Both of those seem pretty big....

                          From what Comp and LE have said the cams are so similar that there is not much difference. The only thing I would need to run the larger one would be a converter.

                            Id go for the bigger one just so you dont have the chance if mentally wondering "what if"

                            If you had a T56 the smaller one would be fine. Joels runs damn good.

                              Roll through a parking lot in Kolins car and watch everyone about break their necks trying to look at his car, then tell me you want a mild cam
