89oldscutlass Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Have any of you guys put a big monster cam in your 2.8 or 3.1? If so do they have a good lobe when they idle and did your alls cars run a whole lot better with out boring them out and putting in oversize pistons?All suggestions are welcomed. Im wanting to build the tar out of a 3.1.I love the 3.4 but the boys at the track are telling me they wont hold up to the strip abuse and high rpms. Quote
Brian P Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 Yes, look at the Crane H260 or heck even the H272, you'll get some nice lopey idle with that! Quote
Vegeta Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 I wouldnt use those without going higher compression. The 272 definetly wants higher compression though. Quote
SmokesGTP Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 They'll hold up to the abuse its just the tranny wont because of its WOT shift points occuring right where the engine hits its power peak. The 3.4 gets a bad rap. Quote
Brian P Posted May 13, 2003 Report Posted May 13, 2003 AH I thought we were talking about higher compression....nevermind! Quote
