Camzilla?

[jklein68]

Looking for comments on this grind... They are recommending a 3500 stall.

Adv 277°/273° @.050" 227°/223° Lift .614"/.610". LS 115°

Thanks!

Re: Camzilla?

That is a lot of lift. What heads are you using? Turbo?

Re: Camzilla?

That sort of lift would imply a really aggressive set of heads... brodix/bowtie/ponchos.

And, a large enough bore size such that you didn't have a bunch of shrouding when the valves were open that far.

Re: Camzilla?

Here's what I have for heads and turbo...

Block is punched out .030 over

Vortec Heads polished with 2.05/1.60 valves

ITS T66, 66mm Dual Ball Bearing Turbo

Thanks!

Re: Camzilla?

Not a good cam for that. Isn't much of a point in big lift with a stock block, or non-exotic heads.

Are you sure those are 2.05 have you measured them?
I agree with Dig...thats alota cam!
What rocker ratio...that will raise those cam numbers if any bigger than a 1.5 ratio!
Camzilla was a good name for the post! :rotf:

Re: Camzilla?

I bought the valves from RPM, they advertised 2.05...I am working with Jim Cook on the CAM and wanted to get some opinions from you guys. I thought that it was a lot of lift too. We are still working on the exact specs for the CAM.

His son had a Syclone with Bow Tie heads, stock block, bigger turbo...I don't have all of the specifics but he ran this CAM and Jim states that it made "Gobs" of power and was a "rough" cruiser as far as drive-ability.

With this CAM I most likely will run 1.5 rockers as 1.6 would just be adding fuel to the fire.

The block will have 4 bolt mains with a nitrided crank, eagle rods, and JE pistons.

Not to change the subject but I noticed alot of turbo Buick guys are runnng higher lift (lopey) cams and making lots of power. I'd like to see what this cam can do in our setup.
