Cam Choices

347powered · 09-07-2002, 06:25 PM

Anyone have any suggestions on a cam choice? Got a 347, 42lb injectors,70mm mas, trick flow upper and lower, track heat heads also trick flow, Also putting a 14lb Procharger, with a 3-core intercooler, the cam I have now isn`t very driver friendly! So any ideas would be REALLY helpful! Thanks alot for your time!! The cam I have now is, Intake dur is 284 lift is 544, exhaust is 294 lift is 573, 112 degree lobe center, 65 deg of overlap. The cam is Isky

I like Comp Cams Xtreme Energy series. They are a fairly new design that gives you better vacume in the bigger street strip cams.

Mine is 230 - 236 @ .050 duration and .519 .523 lift, and its going in a 372 stroker. I know of a very similar setup to mine (which isn't done yet so i can't give you a personal report ) but the one i know of is making around 450 HP and its a streetable engine. What you have now sounds like an awful lot of cam for a streetable car ? Well i'm assuming its a street car ?

PS: it is 110 degree lobe sep.

I'm thinking about a 347 with the 14#procharger, too. I'm considering Lunati's 51017 - 276/286, 218/228, .536/.536", 112LC, and Lunati's 51028 - 285/291, 221/232, .526/.530", 112LC.

Right now I'm running 284/292, 218/226/, .504/.512", 112LC naturally aspirated and it works quite well. Thinking about putting the P1SC on this motor and finding out how the it works with this cam. May just transplant this cam to the 347. Don't have any dyno numbers to offer.

I think the overlap on the first 2 I mentioned are 0 and 4, respectively and 4 on the one I've got.
