Do you have ported heads or aftermarket castings?

Yea, cause that cam is way to big for unported stock castings.

Unless you want a dog of an engine, yes a new cam choice would help.
What's you goal/desires for the car? |

im gonna go with ls7 lifters |
Do you already have the cam? If so, stick with it. Yes there are some more "ideal" cams for it, But I have seen that cam make 350-360rwhp on stock heads. Cam will drop off around 5800-6000rpms though. pretty straight torque curve with a very steep hp curve.
it wont make much power down low, but just drop down a gear if your gonna race someone obviously. Not debating with Matt, he is right as the cam will work exceptionally better with heads, but it will work and make good #'s without too. |
Is the car an Auto or Manual? An auto with a stock convertor is going to have issues with a cam that big.
The link below is a build with a 847, similar cam. The car did not like to idle in gear and occasional stalled in reverse until we changed convertors. http://www.97transam.com/97ta-cam.php |
its a t56 car, its going to be a 355 with stock heads, he is putting ls7 lifters and he has upgraded springs
