I'm looking at doing a cam swap in my 90 SC. The car is an 5spd, 3.27s, ported 94 blower, intake, headers, exhaust, and the occasional 50 shot - with a 10% OD and air/water IC setup soon to come.
I need some more top end out of this motor, as I'm sure you all know this motor acts like a big block - great torque, but keels over before 5000. My SC is a street car and will be running street tires, and I can't use any more low end as it is. I wouldn't have a problem sacrificing low RPM torque for top end. I don't want to touch the heads, and although I will throw my wideband in it to keep an eye on things I'd like to get away without an actual tune if I can.
From the little bit of searching I'm thinking somewhere around 510 lift and 210/220 dur. would be good for my goals... I'd appreciate any input/opinions on the specs.
Now I'd like to find a vendor that will sell me essentially a kit with a reground cam, springs and pushrods... pretty much what I need to do this swap. Any suggestions?
