Finally ordered the cam......
It's a VHP 044....210º/218º .531/.531 114lsa
It should be here in a few days.....if I can get the head gaskets and ARP bolts in a hurry I plan on doing the install before Christmas if I can.
With the swap to LS1 heads, which will bump the compression to 10.4:1, the new cam, and the SuperMaxx LT's what kind of power guesses do you guys have....this combo will be run on my current CMotorsports custom tune for a few weeks 'till I can get in to have them tune it again

Did you take smog check into consideration when choosing a cam? I want to do a cam swap but I'm worried about the Cali smog ****'s

Seriously though....this cam should pass no problem, Lunati's Stealth cam and the Thunder Racing TR220 and TR224 will pass smog and they are a lot biger than this cam, even on the stock tune I shouldn't see any problem
Oh, and I'm not real worried anyway...I live in Inyo County, we only smog check once when the vehicle is registered, there is no yearly check here

i realize that you are using a head cam combo that will help make up for a little smaller cam but why so small of a cam and depending on the heads mebbe 50+rwhp i am hoping for 60+ rwhp out of mine with a 212/218 and i am guessing you should not be far off of that but again not sure exactly what done to your heads

Mainly drivability......I want it to be 100% reliable and drivable
Given that the '99 stock cam specs are: 191º/190º .456/.467 114lsa this is going to be a very big jump in size.....19º of intake duration, 28º of exhaust duration and .060 lift is a pretty big jump

BTW....other than polished chambers the heads are stock......I see no real gain in porting them with a cam this small
