good cam

[jimski]

I know there has been several threads about this.Figure i start clean here, what would be a good cam for my 83 carbed turbo with electronic quadrajet and computer controlled.I dont want to go to far and then the computer cannot compensate.I have a stock cam in there now.

Check with LilSpann Jim. The one I found for his is just a little over stock. Aj has the number as well. I think Aj said you could get it from PAW fairly cheap and it worked for him. I'm going to use the Edelbrock cam and I don't think it will cause a problem. I used a simular one in an 84 Camaro with ccc and it was like night and day so I don't think I'll have a problem.

the one i got from PAW had a orange sticker on it that said do not use with computer controlled vehicles

There is nothing for computer controlled:frown: any other suggestions.What are the numbers on a stock cam,i may be able to try and figure something out with the numbers.

As far as working with the computer control,

any cam that is within 111 to 114 LSA should be fine. just need a decent vacum signal.

I dont remember your exact specs, so I cant really make a suggestion on duration or etc, fill me in on your combo.

I think Jerryl posted them a while ago. Max lift is like .408 and max durration is 194 degrees. It's really tiny. Go to Summit or Jegs and see what they have for an 82-86 Camaro LG4. Look at the specs and if you are interested I have a good custom grinder that will make you one for about $100 with shipping. Gotten several from them and not a bad grinder.

What is the part number so i can go over there and get this.Im getting a radiator for my chevy that has been backordered so i will tell them to send the cam also in one shot

 

[charlief1]

Jim, that one's for a chevy. It's stated in the specs. Get Aj or LilSpann to give you the # for PAW and the cam # so you can order it
