Default what cam for my setup. LQ9.

LQ9 with longtubes. Stock 317s. LS6 intake with a turbo 400 trans. Dyno tuned. Mostly street but strip car too. Will see nitrous. 100 to 150 shot.

Whats a good cam for my setup but keeping some street manners. Asking for opinions as I've searched a few but unsure....I'm not a cam expert. Thanks!

Converter is being built based off the cam. But prob in the 3200 range on NA. Gears are 3.73s with a 28" tire.

HCI2000SS, have you had yours on a Dyno or at the track? I am curious what it laid down.

Thought about having them milled. Maybe ill just put them on after letting the machine shop guy do them. The ls6 intake. And throw this ls6 cam i have lying around and see how it runs.

from what ive read ls6 cams are better for FI.

i had an 02 ls6 cam and imo youd be better off going with something more aggressive.especially with nitrous.
