Hi, I am newer here, and looking for a some info on a good cam. I have a stock L82 185hp motor. I am looking for a cam to help bump the hp up some. I don't mind a lope, but I don't want a radical cam. Anyone have some good cam specs? Who makes a good one?
I have another question as well. What are the differences between the L48 and the L82 motors? I know the L48 makes 220hp, but where do the differences lie? Thanks in advance for any info.

The L82 is the 220 hp motor and the l48 is the 185. The difference between them is the l82 larger ports, longer duration & higher lift cam, larger intake & exhaust (2.02"/1.60") valves with higher lift, pushrod guideplates, pushrods with steel inserts on rocker arm ends, aluminum impact extruded pistons (flat/notched), moly rings, forged steel crankshaft & 4-bolt main bearing caps, higher capacity starter, and finned aluminum rocker covers. The l82 cam is not really too bad, but i think if you just call a place that makes cams like comp cams or crane cams they can lead you in the right direction of what cam to get. hope this helps
