Re: good l98 cam
if you dig around on thirdgen.org or ls1tech.com they have full explanations on what all of the specs mean. The cam manufacturers websites will have little things on "how to determine which cam is right for me". Its best to study what a cam does and how it works and then choose a cam. Dont always go off of what other people say because different people will have different ideas on what cam and what specs are good for whatever purposes. A lot of how a cam will act in a motor is determined by the tune. Thats mostly true for newer computer controlled motors but for an l98 you can tune fairly well too. Just do your research.
BTW: dont forget. You have to match whatever cam you get to your stall. If your going to keep the factory stall you want a cam that will make power at low rpms.
I posted this a while ago but ill mention it again. The publisher is HP Books and the book is written by John Lingenfelter. Its call ow to build a performance chevy small block.... or something like that. Good book for anyone wanting to know anything about v-8 chevy as well as v8's and v-6's in general. It explains how cams do what they do in detail.
