What DO you want, and what DON'T you want? Consider all these qualities of the car, and decide what's important to you: Idle quality Loudness Low RPM cruising Fuel economy High or low RPM power Ability to pass emissions (and if so, what type of test?) Current, and planned future mods (heads? FI? Bottle?) And of course, how you primarily use and enjoy the car....daily driver in heavy traffic, fair weather boulevard cruiser, freeway flyer, twisty backroad warrior, etc. Be realistic. There's a lot of "big cam" proponents around, and there's a lot of "baby cam" proponents around, and everyone will want to tell you "what's best", but it's really only best if it fits with what you want. :cheers: |
A classic "medium" cam (smaller by today's standards) is the Thunder Racing 224/224. But yeah... it's all depends on what you want and what you can tolerate. What's fine by one guy may be horrible to another.

I have MTI's X-1 cam and love it.....

A good rule of thumb is to use the smallest cam possible to achieve the results you want.
A 224-228 cam on either a 112 +2 or 114 +4 LSA will work very well with today's tuning capabilities. Now it's a matter of picking the right lobes, etc. I've used custom cams designed by Bret Bauer of Bauer Racing engines and recommend them highly. |

check out this link..its mainly for exhaust but if you search thru there you can find many cars with cam's and the cam spec's allowing you to hear what it sounds like |
I know EnglandGreen had sound bits at one time but I cant find them.
As for a cam I think I will stay in the 224 to 230 range on a 112 OR 114. |

That is a pretty badass system!!

What cam is that ? Thats what I'm looking for.

We have several PROVEN mild cams for the LS1s. We can set you up with a real nice cam, and a very good tune to go along with it. Ask anyone who's been tuned by me. I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I want everything to "drive like stock" LOL

+1,000,000 on Ed's tuning... I'm an anal technical car person. Ed made me a happy customer and that's a hard thing to do.

There's a lot of good points in this thread. I dought you want one of the monster cams. For a good daily driver that's going to be a lot of fun stick with something on the milder side. The loss of lowend and drivablity from the big cams normally end up taking some of the fun out of just getting out on the high way and cruising.

I can't believe people are judging and buying cams based on the way they sound. That's just insane. I was going to say stupid but I didn't want to offend anyone. :crazy:
Why not choose a cam - after talking with the right people - that makes the kind of power you want. You can make any cam lope hard if you set the idle low enough. |
