Would a 242/242 609"lift not sure of lsa, could be 112 be to large for a stock 5.7L engine. Got a friend who had one fitted and is definitelly not happy with the end result.
Cam too big

It's all good until it goes "Bang"
That would definatly be a challange to get to idle nicely,
not your daily driver cam choice thats for sure
Back yard boost
347+ T76 = 770 rwhp10.96 @ 135 mph
tuner that put it in had 4 goes at tuning it and gave up. At the moment he only has an extra 20hp on me unopened.

suggested to him to fit some heads or down size his cam.

Common problem I see every day , car can be nmade to idle and drive properly BUT it will always be down on midrange , from 6500rpm it will be stronger than a mild cam but it would need all the componentary matched to be effective from 6-7k where it will make its power.Originally Posted by limited cv8r
It will make less power than a stocker up to the 6000 rpm point so not surprisong your bolt on car nearly eats it
Poor matching of components just makes a dog no matter how you try to look at it.
Too true. This is what I need to get him to understand. A large cam only is not the best option for his setup, either smaller cam or the goodies needed to compliment the cam he has.

Had the same thing myself a couple of weeks ago fitted a cam to a vyls1 and it idled like a prostocker but made15hp over stock.far less midrange .Was pulling 90kpa at wot at 5000rpm.Had me stumped as wasnt supposed to be a big cam.Tried in vane to tune it. Gave up pulled the cam and replaced it with the SAME cam part number.Fired it up nice cammy idle and 35more hp after some investigating the cam was incorrectly ground and was never gunna fly on a stock ls1. Right combo of parts is everything.
The settings needed can be shared via email or mail order. email me. Its a shame to pull a cam out.
