Default Whats a good boost cam for the LQ4?
Hey guys.
My LS1 took a crap on me so Im sticking in a LQ4 in to the old SS. I was wondering what is a good cam to put boost on? Also if any one has recomondations on push rods and valve springs. That would be great too.
I have heard the stock LS6 cam would work well.
Thanks

I think its a "Forced Induction" grind in general...but if you want every drop of HP I guess you could look into a custom grind

stock or ls6 work fine, plus can get away with using ls6 springs for less than 10psi
