To anyone who has TPI-style intake (modifed to whatever degree) and ported/aftermarket heads, AND is running a cam that is in the 220-224* intake duration and/or lift in the .500+ area, I would like to hear from you.
How solid is the performance? I've been very strongly considering the LT4 HOT cam in my setup, but have been repeatedly told that it won't be enough. Surprising, the modeling numbers look very good. I've been given strong recommendations that look like 222/230: http://www.cranecams.com/?show=browseParts&action=partSpec&partNumber=109831&lvl=2&prt=5
or 224/230 from Comp Cams Xtreme Energy line, p/n 08-503-8, XR276HR.
Again, the desktop modeling numbers look good on these two cams as well. Before I take the plunge and order a cam like these, I need to know whjat folks out there who have actually tested them at the track know in the real world. And I'm talking L98/modified TPI, not LT1's. My setup to include:
Accel SR base, ported
Accel LTRs, polished
Ported stock plenum
52mm TB
AFR 195cc heads, milled to 58cc chambers
Headers & exhaust
I know cam companies want to sell their cams, but I'm a little surprised that different folks at them keep telling me 222 and even 224 duration intake lobes. If they're right, I'l love to hear what people on this forum WHO KNOW FROM REAL EXPERIENCE running these in their L98's have to say as well.
