got some video of it? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol.... well im still needing help with what to choose im running a injected 304 in my vl with a t5.at the end of year when i go te respray bay i plan to put some compresion into it along with a hi rise and biger throttle body but retaining the standard stroke with a basic rebuild/rings and bearings etc.... what cam should i choose?i was thinking the 284 to be safer like most recomend???? i havent got the exhaust made up yet so i am unsure what to do there.what should i get to match the future work and cam i have planned?i was looking into a single 2.5 or 3 inch with a decent cat? theres no lie that i want the motor to rev hard lol.any more opinions?

Get a Wade 1522C1536B, a cam to suit the standard manifold, will pull hard and make heaps of torque, with out dying before it starts to make power. Anything bigger than a 284 is going backwards.

i have plans of a hi rise manifold and bigger throtle body later on this year

well if you plan on doing that, why not wait til you got all the bits ready to go. depends if you plan on redoing the motor or not.

With that cam, you can use LT1 Springs, so all parts should come in under $600 ;240 odd for cam, 120 for lifters, 80 for springs, 60 for gasket set + oil and filters. if you can do the work yourself, it is relatively cheap

Greenfoam tune is $75 i think for custom cam.

Yea i think greenfoam is 90 ish from memory? ---------- Post added 02-06-10 at 21:07 ---------- i wanted the motor in and ready for a few weeks time then out later this year for a rebuild,higher CR and the hi rise etc. aim was to have a cam that works well with standard manifold now and one that still works well with the next intake setup ill be using

[QUOTE=DA HOON;2486050]shave heads (to get 9.5:1+ comp) crane 286 cam lt1 springs and retainers double row timing chain custom tune decent exhaust setup how much for the above that you mentioned not including the labour?im starting to look around now and get my arse into gear i want my car back on rd asap for my wedding then after its coming out for a rebuild. but for now im still going with a dual plane and throttle body just looking round at what cam and asosiated acesories ill need. how much will it cost to shave the heads just by them selves? will a green foam tune be enough with the 286? can any one recomend any other cams in another brand the same as the crane 286?
