Crane 282S. |

Sounds like a great application for a Crane 282S, if you indend to drive it a bunch but seek some serious power.
I'm not a cam wiz, but have had pump-down issues with hydraulics at sustained revs. Solids will generate a little clacking, but will otherwise offer the stability I seek at higher revs. There is fairly strong agreement among the folk I speak with that the Crane 282S is a great cam for the 3:50 rear and C6.
To be sure, you need a performance ol pan and pickup if you intend to do any perfoprmance dirving in that light of a car. Fast acceleration rates will dump the pan dry, and an aftermarket oil pump can dry out a pan even in a slower car. Be careful of oiling mods, as the books usually have it wrong. Start with the oil pan and work from there. A stock pump IS sufficient for most performance applications. Upgrading pumps is fine, if you rebalance the system by adding oil restrictors in the heads, etc.
