114 lsa is perfectly fine for some apps. It all depends on the engine and trans and gears and type of performance desired and the other aspects of the cam etc.So Chuck you’re saying that there is to much LSA? Would really like to hear your recommendation.George has built a lot of very steerable engines and I respect his opinions. However, I see no reason to use a 114 LSA. I think he has other optional specs for what he currently recommends for a street engine. ChuckSo this is the camshaft I’m thinking about. George says he believes this is the best all around performance hydraulic flat tappet street cam.
Bullet Camshafts
Adv. duration 277/287
Duration @ .50 lift 228/235
Gross valve lift @1.73 rocker arm .580/.585
ICL 111*
LSA 114*
Seated overlap 54*
This cam is for my 72 Q code 351 .30 over w/4v 10:1 quench heads, flat top forged pistons, Blue Thunder intake, Quick Fuel 735 HS carb w/vacuum secondaries, stock manifolds, c6 trans & 3.50 trutrac rear gear. This car is driven for go and show. Not a daily driver so I want to be more on the performance side, but I do want it to have good street manners also. So in other words, I want it all! Lol
George penned this for a very similar build to mine, so it should be pretty close. He calls it the Bullet Cobra Jet Cam.
Any thoughts about it would be appreciated. I’m still learning about the Cleveland and open to suggestions.
I’m actually thinking about something close to this grind for a hydraulic roller cam.
I got this from the Pantera web site and he posted this about August of this year. That’s why I figured it was pretty up to date.
exactly what heads do you have?
do you have a high stall converter?
do you want a smooth idle or do you want it to have a little lope?
do you often drive long distances at 65 mph or more?
do you want signal light to signal light performance?
