what cams for a 2.3 stroker ?

[dan2288]

I was thinking bc 280's. Will that still give a a rough idle(i like that ) on a 2.3 or should I go bigger ?

It will have a ruff idle. It wont matter unless you have the head componets to handle the 280's.

280s are a good size for us strokers. FP3x or FP3s are in the same range also.

280'S in a stroker will almost act like 272'S in a 2.0

 

[dan2288]

ok, sounds good. I already have bc springs and retainers sitting here. Just have to get the other parts.

 

[absolute_DSM]

Post an audio clip when you get them installed.

Yeap he is correct. I wouldnt go to large of cams if you went with only single springs.

BC 280's are what I went with for my 2.3. Only a few more months till she is up and running...

I have Comp Cams 200 (FP2), with 2.3 stroker. 8.5:1 compression with with stock head. The head has rebuild with 3angle work done to it. I use MAFPRO for tuning and it idles at 750 with ever so slight lope. I'm just getting this tuned. So far 20psi at around 3800rpm like a freight train and then some more umph at about 6500rpm to 8000rpm. I like them better then the 272's I had on my 2g 2.3 stroker, but that was with a 50trim. This is a 35R internally gated so yeah a little more umph.
