Install a Bullet Blueprint cam you will be fine....and very happy !!
Regarding 3.08 first gear on the 4L60.
On a heavy car like mine it just the ticket.

The factory cam power range, yup you are correct.. !!

I was thinking a TH350 with a 4L60E tranny pan welded on the bottom! LOL! ;););)

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

Does the Bullet "blueprint" cam keep factory duration? Is that even published? If it has more duration your RPM range will be higher. On-track testing I have done with both my bone stock virgin LT1 Camaro & TA (not even headers that would effect it) showed quickest ETs (with proper tuning) shifting it at 6000 RPM. I'm not sure what you are seeing on an chassis dyno sheet that tells you the needed stall speed. You do realize, that with an automatic car running a loose converter, the numbers are skewed (out of sync with the torque numbers), right?

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

Yeah, a Pro Trans. LOL

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

Yes it is published.

The engine was dynoed by Jeff Warren after he built it.
Btw where do you have a dyno?

D

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

What duration does the published spec show?

The chassis dyno in my shop for fifteen years. I now dyno my SS engine on engine dynos at either Patterson Racing Engines or Morton's Machine.

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

Bullet Cams calls Mike Baker to confirm Duration.
Mine was easy because the NHRA/IHRA uses the F-Body Cam specs for B and F Body LT1s.

Where is Patterson and Morton?

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

Patterson Racing Engines is in Augusta Kansas (Edge of Witchita, about three hours drive)
http://www.pattersonracing.com/

Stanley Morton has a smaller shop. He is in Broken Arrow, OK, about half an hour drive. Patterson's dyno set up has eight wide bands, Stanley's does not. Depends on what I need to do. Patterson builds Stock, SS and Comp engines mostly. Stanly builds Pro Mod and Top Sportsman stuff, also the best crank shaft guy I know.

Known both Stanley Morton and Allan Patterson for about forty years. They both also do machine work for me.

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut-UPDATE
 

WHEW! Just got home from Jackson SC this am. It was a LOONNGGGG Day. Up at 7am, raced all day, finally left the track @ 5pm and got home bout 1:15am! Not to mention the all week thrash to get ready. Put on headers/muffs and got rid of the stock mani's. Gutted everything under the pass side dash. Installed a new chip from Ed Wright (THANKS ED!). Ironically the chip I got with the car was from Ed also. The car picked up pretty good and better yet is waayy more consistent. I tested last wed and went new bests of 12.87 @ 103 and 8.12 @ 82 here is not so great conditions. I did have the extra weight for D out but decided last minute to put it back for Jackson. GOOD THING! LOL! Corbin Mashburn (hope I didn't butcher it) was there in C/PS and his car flat out FLY'S! At legal D/PS weight (3635) I ran a new best up there of 8.11 at 82 and change. Struggled with the tree but did manage to go some rounds on Sunday. All in all I'm very happy with the performance of our lil project and its been a blast meeting many of our new stock elim buds. Now its COFFEE time! LOL!

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

I was cheering for ya! Great weekend even with some minor problems had alot of fun and Dad got in the $ with his pure stocker --- See ya in Bradenton

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut-UPDATE
 

How fast was Corbitt (Marshburn) running in C? That Camaro really hadn't had that much stuff done to it when he got it but I don't know if he let Jeff Warren work on it this winter. That tends to make them a tad faster ... :D

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

"9 996 C/PS 93 CAMARO Z28 350 CHEVY CORBITT MARSHBURN CLINTON NC 7.358 8.30 -0.942"

Like I said, FLYING!!

Daran Tina kicked my butt!! I just about wanted to shoot myself. The two runs before than one were -.011 and -.015 so I figgered I would lay off just a tad......OOPS!! LOL! Congrats to Dad. I ran another P/S bro third round Sunday. Ray Grice. I was .007 round two so I think you know where this is going. I really wasn't trying to lay off that one I just plain missed it. DOH! See you guys in Bradenton!

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut-UPDATE
 

Kenny,

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

Thanks Jerry! Its been a fun lil project and a good learning experience for both the kids and the old man. I think it will be a contender and Kenneth is dying to get behind the wheel!
