I was running the stock converter which was fine. I am switching to a Circle D 3200 though while I am upgrading my transmission. I use BTR Platinum Dual Springs rated up to .660" lift with titanium retainers.
So are you going to use the cam they sent you?
No Im going to default back to the smaller cam. I found out why they sent wrong cam. the cam you have is the A and A supercharger cam for LS3 the one I ordered is the default entry level cam for the LS1-2 or thats what I was told.
I like the cam from Cam motion but the difference is so small its not worth the hassle of exchanging Cams etc.. here is the Cam motion specs
Grind # XA220/350-XA230/350-17+4 Duration at .050 - 220/230 Lift with 1.7 - .595/.595 Lobe separation 117 Intake center line 113
That should idle fairly smooth and have good street manners along with good intake manifold vacuum.
I agree 100% but
Im already set up on the exchange for the BTR cam, doesnt look like there is enough diff to swap, probably not 4 HP diff in the two... what you think?
Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift:220
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift:230
Duration at 050 inch Lift:220 int./230 exh.
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio:0.581 in.
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio:0.591 in.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio:0.581 int./0.591 exh.
Lobe Separation (degrees):116
Yeah, that is the dilemma. I will probably end up swapping it because it will bug me that I left power on the table over laziness .
You may actually decrease power going to a blower cam. It depends what cam you have now and what cam you're going to. Just because you're going to a "blower" cam from an N/A cam doesn't necessarily mean you're going to pick up power.
