cam lopeyness

Re: cam lopeyness
Your tuner can help make almost anything bigger than stock lope. Right after I put the ZZ3(very mild) cam in my car I had laptop troubles and had to run it on custom tuning for a stock engine and it loped, with my current tuning it is sleeper as could be guys that know I swapped the cam say she sounds stock.

Contrary to your suggestion otherwise, I was not referring to my cam. I asked a question, it was answered, and I disagree. No biggie - get over it.

Re: cam lopeyness
I still just don't get the logic of wanting a nasty lope. What's the point?
And all the talk about 233/239 or CC306 having great drivability down
low. I just do not buy it. I have a baby, baby cam and the surge off idle
in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic, although minor, is still irritating.
You would really have to drive anything more than my baby cam. I can
drive it almost like I drove it when it was stock. Anybody that tells me a
CC306 will drive just fine in my situation is in a dream world. By the way,
I have some submerged land for sale too if you are interested.

My cc306 is streetable but it is not for the light of heart. Any cams ability to act well is all about the tune
if you just want the sound why no rig up a switch that grounds out a couple plugs 3 and 8 should make it sound pretty nasty Then take the money you save and go to the strip club

I have very minor surge around 1500rpm, which the tach rarely sees. I love the dream world. It rocks.

Re: cam lopeyness
Another supporter of the CC306 here. I drove the car 25 miles each way to work during the summer and also took a couple 300+miles one way road trips with the car. With stock heads and rear end on 275 Nitto Drag Radials the car put down the numbers and times in the sig.(actually, I think the numbers might be a little low because when I had the tuning done, the plug wires weren't all the way on the opti and so the terminals got all corroded. Swapped opti and the car feels 10x stronger.) If you have a torque converter, you don't even have to wory about the minimal loss of the low end power.
And the sound is amazing. I actually have problems finding people with less than 450rwhp to race me because everyone thinks I have a stroker or something.
Here is a link to my dyno comparing the CC306 w/ long tubes vs CC305 w/shorty headers.

Ok I'm a F'ing liar.........I HAVE!!!!!! the cc306 and it drives great.....of course that is my dream world Now I must say, the reason I have good driving conditions is PROBLY because of my tune. Thanks Ion!! And a bigger shock is I have good power on take off . Maybe comp cams sent me the wrong cam...............oh wait, I bought the cam from COMP CAMS NEW, then had the machine shop check its specs before it was installed to make sure I had the right lift #'s! If you would like I can scan the cam card that came with it, and to prove it's me and my card in the picture (not some photo off the net) I can put my hand in the picture with my middle finger pointing up or what ever you would like me to do. And yes, I took this personal like you were calling me a liar.
It really does not bother me you think it's not possible, but you should not rag on a cam you must not have a clue about.

Re: cam lopeyness
I'm running a 228/238 112LSA cam here and i experience virtually no surge. I get a little at idle once i go into closed loop due to the car running rich (working on that still), but at 850rpm before i go into closed loop while it doesn't idle anything liek a stock engine there is virtually no surge. Even once i'm in closed loop driving in town is not an issue at all, while there is a small amount of surge under 1200rpm it's not really an issue.
Like others said - there is no cam that will keep you near stock gas mileage/drivability AND give you a huge lopey idle. Also keep in mind your exhaust setup will affect how hte car sounds - and get ready to spend some cash.
