best boost cam

[MidnightriderZ24]

ok, so im down to the last things i need to gather for my 3400/3500 hybrid (decided 3500 wasnt worth the trouble). ive got 327 h bream rods, custom pistons, crank balanced etc.... i plan on running 20+ psi and im trying to decide on a cam grind now... any help guys?

you should put your 3400 crank in the 3500... don't let a good block go to waste

Hey, if you have MSN add me.. grandmasterred1@mchsi.com i'm working on something you might be interrested in as well...

[IsaacHayes]

My only question is, with this extra power, what are you gonna do for transmission and traction? Surely the axels and trans will start breaking, and traction will be even worse... I thought your current setup was nice and about at the max for the platform...

Are you still looking for a boost cam? As far as specs...max lift is .490 and duration is up to you and the lobe seperation angle should be in the 113-116 range. Basically kinda like a nitrous cam.

axles u will break but tranny he should be ok as long as he is not shifting at like 8000rpm. i beleive thats where curtis was havin trany problems. and dave i am interested in ur 3500 info if u would like to share it since i will be atempting the swap soon

Gm trannys are rated at 250tq.

[El_Diablo]

not all of them and not built a built trans...


hell, my 4t40e is rated at around 200 and guys have taken the same trans to over 250ft.lbs

[RedBird]

I'm not all that worried about him breaking the trans. he's already putting probably in the range of 400 ft/lb's through that 250 ft/lb rated tranny......and it's still holding strong...... I'm sure if he's gonna make power levels that much higher he's gotta be looking into rebuilding it anyway.....

[Superdave]

the HM282 is rated for 350 HP/350 TQ but has been proven to take 480 lbs of TQ. the Isuzu is a different story...


93ztwo4, i started a website about it. As soon as i have all the info down i'll open it to the public. I'm still working out a few bugs.


fivepointhustla, where did you hear that the max lift was .490? stock 3400/3500 heads are good for .550 with the right springs...

[MidnightriderZ24]

dave, id add u on msn, but i dont have it and i dont want it lol. i only use AIM. as far as rated for 350tq ive been putting down more to the wheels than that. i wonder how much im putting at the crank. dave, send me a pm on v6 or something with some info...

[93ztwo4]

thanks dave let me know when its done.

[Superdave]

oh yah, back to the cam...

i hate to say it but Milzy makes a pretty damn good boost cam.

I'll post up the specs later...

A pretty expensive one.

[Superdave]

A pretty expensive one.

it's about average price for a roller cam..

i know how much he's paying for everything and there isn't much of a markup. hopefully in the spring he'll drop his prices...

The chevy performance manual says not to exceed .560, but at that level pistons need to be notched, piston to valve clearance WILL be a concern. Sorry I should have said max lift with stock pistons.
