ok i am ready to get this build going again...
all am lacking to have the motor finished is:
CAM
valve springs
head studs
head gaskets

for you that don't know it is a 2001 RCSB 408 (9.25:1), 4l80e, front mount pt88, and some meth
i will be running cleaned up #317 heads and a truck intake...(THIS WILL NOT BE A RACE ONLY TRUCK)

i would like to buy a cam next and need opinions on what one?!?!?
i would like it to be as chopy as possible while still being efficiant

can i get some help please!!

 

234/232 598/595 115+1

I believe Parish8 ran this cam with the same setup you have. I'd say it's a proven combo.

 

I like the Speed Inc TU1 myself.

 

i am basing my build off his.. so if someone could help confirm this that would be awsome...
but i am still open for opinions

 

Just spend $25 and get one spec'd by Pat G.

 

who is pat g?
stock48???
i talked to him a while back but i just started working on this truck again and can't remember everything

maybe he will chime in and i will buy one from him

 

IIRC parish's cam was a 230/236 595/601 115+2 not a 234/232 598/595 115+1 also i think quik bought parish's cam and now runs it in his 4.8, IIRC quik ran the cam grind numbers off the cam after he got it from parish and came out to be 230/236/595/601 115 +2


just clarifing things alittle

 

i wouldnt run that in a 408

the cam spec'd out above would be a solid cam for your setup

 

Why not? Parish said in retrospect that the 234/232 is probably too big

 

well i shouldnt have said not in a 408, im sure it would be a decent cam, i know a few ppl that have run it.

OP said he wanted some chop in his setup, i doubt with that cam being small in a 408 that it would hit any, on the other hand that 234 cam is bigger would hit more on the right lsa, i know lsa has alot to do with the lope but the duration plays a factor as well
