What cam do I want and where do I get it??

Dark_5.0 · 07-30-2001, 07:58 PM

I am currently still using the speed density computer but I am going to try and install an overstock cam and tune my motor to work.

I want a cam that will add mid and high range power and increase my mph.

I plan on adding a high performance fuel pump
24# injectors and a fuel pressure regulator

I am hoping that a cam along with a 100 shot of nitrous will make me able to hang with or beat some of the chevy big block monters here at the track.

Any help or criticism for my next step will be greatly appreciated.

You need to match the cam to your engine specs. (compression,valve lift,ect.) You can go to crane cams or lunati or any cam mfr and they give you compression requirements and what rpm range they are good for. Good luck.

comp cam have a cam for the speed density. I think it have 477 of lift but i don't know the duration. How can you put 24 pound injectors on speed density? Let me know how your set up is working.I'm running 13.4 at 103.6 with my 88 gt on street tire (speed density).Stock ported head and intake,1.7rr and lots of bolt-on

Dont quote me on this but I believe that you can put 24# injectors and a cam and even an intake if you have a high performance fuel pump and a fuel presure regulator you simply have to increase your fuel pressure manualy to compensate for all of the extra air flow.

The main reason that I want to put the bigger injectors and the fuel pump is so I can put the nitrous on safely and get the most out of it.
