S/Charged LS1 Cam suggestions please
Discussion
Well I guess I'm going to pull my finger out and do something!
I have been thinking far too long and need to get something done with my ute.
Basically I have an LS1 Harrop HH122 with a N/A cam in it with too much overlap and have problems with poisoning myself driving with the window down, I've mentioned this problem on here before but need to sort it out.
I am thinking of putting a cam in but just need a bit of advise.
What I would like to do is fit the cam get on the boat head for England and put on rolling road for set up.
Would it be ok to use map that is in the car and drive to Ric Woods dyno and get it tuned?
Plus I need a cam but which one?

All I know is that it had a Comp cams XR cam fitted (on cam at 4000rpm) then at a later date HH122 S/C fitted. Apparently two well known LS engine people did some calculations and thought it would be ok to use. This cam was left in as the guy I bought it off liked the lumpy idle and was only really using it for comp events.
When I bought the ute I just presumed it was running rich and just needed fettling.
Running pretty much standard engine, Yellaterra R/R's 1.7 and Mafless, 9psi pulley and no cats. Wortec headers and 3" twin system
And no M.O.T to do each year either.
Wotrec mapped the ute.
Ute is for track days and hill climbing.

BoostedLS1. I presume that Wortec can just remap my ecu if I send it to them if I fit a new cam?
Monkfish1. Yes Daves old ute, and I am sure you know how fumey it is.
Stevieturbo. As far as I am aware it has a set of dual valve springs and I think the heads are standard 241's . I think i'd probably fit a cam kit with springs to suit the cam as long as I can do it with the heads on. Someone on here might know the utes engine specs as Dave Smith who I bought it from was a little vague on specs. The cam you suggested would do I should think but may have to see about MyM8V8's cam also. A kit would be best.
FredBloggs. I love the lumpy cam but headaches that aspirins don't get rid of and not being able to go to sleep at night after driving the ute for the day is not ideal by any means. Everytime I take it out of the garage the oxygen alarm starts going off.
If the Isle of Man M.O.T's it would be a nightmare to pass.
