304 Cam upgrade

[eaton v8]

and the list gets bigger

i just changed the cam in my car, got a custom grind cam, reletively small (similar to a 276) but got it done with a tight lsa. 105 degrees. the 276 comes with an lsa of 110 from memory and a factory cam is 117 (also from memory).

i dont see the problem in changing your cam for the noise you want. i pretty much did.

changed lifters obviously and new valve springs and timing chain, thats about it though. its not a hard task if you wanted to do it yourself. plenty of people have.


im also getting a stally and new auto, but ive left the heads and intake standard, because i dont feel the need to spend ridiculous amounts of money on a somewhat whale of a car, when i could buy an ls1 for about 10 grand now, and have more power for a hell of alot less money.

^^ didnt think i was the only one,
im doing for the sound mainly and get some power out of it but not expecting alot.

you wont get any... in fact, if its wrong itll go worse and use more petrol.

but itll sound lumpy tho.

But it's a race cam. There is an extra 25 rwkw in the term "race cam" alone :thumbsup:

sorry to hijack the thread.im running a injected 304 in my vl with a t5.at the end of year when i go te respray bay i plan to put some compresion into it along with a hi rise and biger throttle body but retaining the standard stroke with a basic rebuild/rings and bearings etc....

what cam should i choose?i was thinking the 286 or 284 to be safer????

i havent got the exhaust made up yet so i am unsure what to do there.what should i get to match the future work and cam i have planned?i was looking into a single 2.5 or 3 inch with a decent cat?
