Cam dummy here. Please teach. =)
The car's going to Lingenfelter next weekend for the Magnuson install, and I'd noticed that they had a couple LS1 cams on the website. The only problem is that I know almost nothing about them. What do the numbers mean? :confused: How do I know if it will pass emissions? How do I know if it will work well with the blower? :confused: How does is affect performance? :confused: I'm looking for a REALLY lopey cam that will work well with the Magnuson, and pass emissions, too. If anybody could teach me a little about them, or provide me with some links to some cam tech\info, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Has anybody ever had LPE installa cam before? If so, how much did it cost? Also, what do think about the cams in the link below? :confused: Thanks for the help!!! :cheers:

Your best bet is to ask the folks at Lingenfelter. After all they have done lot's of them and should be able to answer all your questions and even recommend a good cam match for the blower.
Good Luck :cheers:

The above links are great for learning about cams in general, but no one can answer yor questions about your specific application better than the paople at LPE. Ask them all those questions, and more. Never be afraid to ask questions, and I can guarantee the folks at LPE will be more than happy to help you.
