I am hoping a few pros will chime in, i am think in putting this cam in the vette, want to make as much power as possible.
we have added meth injection

Get arun's jam cam and be done.

What's the static comp come out to? I think you are going to want to bump the shift point a little bit. Not sure why you'd be after the most power possible on a cam swap for a FI street car. It's not going to drive like stock no matter what anyone tells you. Must easier to run a little more boost.

Huge cam with not too much overlap will make power, but it's going to want LOTS of meth because of the higher dynamic compression.

Idle

If I remember correctly you static compression is low.I would raise that,then run a 236lsl/242lxl on 116. Get static as close as possible to 10.5-1.

Last d1 402 we did made 840hp/750tq with that combo, LS2 intake.

I have a very similar combo:

402ci
AFR 225 heads
1 7/8 headers
Novi 2000

With a 234/240 114 I made over 900+ rwhp. This cam was ground on xer lobes that many don't recommend, but it seems to be working okay. I think your choice of cam is great and will work well...limiting factor will be the d1.

Whats your definition of low? Given his combo, I wouldn't go any higher than 9.5 or 10 : 1 on the static. 10.5 :1 isn't outrageous but its definitely at the point where at 16-18 psi boost, he would have to inject a bunch of meth to keep things under control. For the amount of power gained unless the car is a dedicated race car, it's not worth it to jack the compression up that high.

What fuel you running?

That cam doesn't have anywhere near an early enough EVO event for a 402 with a centrifugal s/c IMO.

IMO you need something more along the lines of this:

235/251 116lsa

MVP'S ZO6

With only 11 degrees of overlap, I think that cam would run real nice in his combo too!

0Matt@Tick

It could easily be down sized to a 231/247 116lsa and still make great power.

MVP'S ZO6

And it would drive even better!!

as these numbers are thrown out I can't help but notice them getting closer to the "Jam Cam" specs.

Thanks vettski, after a bit of research ive had the same thoughts, like to hear from Arun, Arun where the heck are you?

MVP'S ZO6

Arun is Probably taking a break from the forum. Shoot him an email.

Manual or Auto? What pulley was on the Novi 2k?

95vettski

Stick car with a 3" pulley

Forced induction is sensitive to adjustments on the exhaust side, I would lean on the exhaust side

Something like a 230/245 with a 117 lsa

Getting it out is just as important as getting it in

Idle

Well, since I know the car and have tuned it. He wants a lot of power. runs a D1. Runs an Alky control meth kit.

I just find it funny that the OP lives near our shop, uses our shop, know we only build LS cars and still doesn't ask us.

Guess who we are? LOL

0Matt@Tick

Here is a cam I did for a D1SC blower motor. LS3 motor, but still utilizes a D1SC.



Granted it was the stock camshaft. It's seems hard for some to add a cam and not lose any power to the stock camshaft down low. This one does not. Most all of my cams do not unless they are very large and don't have optimum compression.

Graph with air fuel and timing was kept the same for the runs with new cam and stock cam.
