What would be the best cam for a daily driven LS1? I want to know what you guys have had good luck with. Dyno numbers would be appreciated.

231/237 (.598/.595) 112+2lsa 422rwhp/379rwtq on Texas Speed's dyno. Daily-drives perfectly with no issues whatsoever and we even got 27-29mpg on the way back from the tune. Lot's of pull, even down low and should be good for 11's! You are asking one of the most general questions you possibly could though with a million different possible answers and people are just going to tell you that what they have is the best. Get your power goals in mind as far as hp/tq/track times and also driveability and have Patrick G or someone make a custom grind for you. Good luck!

Was that a custom grind from TSP or one of theres? Ive looked at a lot of there products they seem like very good parts. My problem is i dont want to spend $400 on a cam im not happy with, so im doing as much research as i can. My goal is street and strip car that has good manners on the street but will be a raped ape on the strip.

Yeah it was one of TSP's cam's but they don't have it listed on their site anymore. You can still get it though! For me, it works perfectly on the streets and will perform at the track as well. Like I said I should be in the 11's even with the terrible DA we have here. Seriously though you would not be wasting your time talking to someone who can spec you a custom cam! That would honestly be the best route to go.

TSP 228R here. Car made 400rwhp-375rwtq and has run a best of 11.66 @ 116 on motor. Very good street manners.

I will give them a call then. One other question then, Have you had any problems with the long tube headers scraping the ground? I plan on buying some when i do the cam. Im leaving the car at stock height.

We've discontinued the 231./237 camshaft. In it's day it made good power, but engine dyno testing got us into some different camshaft styles that made better power across the board. I personally really like the 228R or the Torquer 3 camshaft, we have good dyno data from either camshaft to help you in your decision.

Are you using the stock heads with that cam? I dont have the money to buy aftermarket heads after buying a cam kit.

i agree, i like the V3 also but its a little hard on intake springs for someone who may not want to change them often. when all else fails get a tr224/224R or tr228/228R. my tr224 made 384whp uncorrected through an auto.

who should i email at TSP about a cam? I looked at the site but didnt know who to email.

Futral F13 or F14! I ran the F14 in my Z06 for over a year. The car put down 423 rwhp and 408 rwtq with that cam, underdrive pulley, ported TB, headers, CAI and a tune. I know there are a few other cars that came close to those numbers. Most F14 and F13 cars typically put down in the 390 rwhp to 410 rwhp in F-bodies.

Figure out how much power you want to make, or what you want to run at the track and theeeeen figure on who is going to tune it b/c the tune also plays a big part in how driveable a car with a moderate to big camshaft in it.

I called and talked to Matt at TSP he recommended the 228R camshaft. Any experience with this cam?
