Default Texas speed cam kits?

I've been looking for a cam kit and reading alot of info on this forum but I'm still undecided, right now I have lt headers and true dual exhaust, upgraded air intake, no lid, and a few other mods here and there, I'd like to keep the 241 heads, my car is an m6 and kind of a daily driver, but I'd like to be somewhere in the 420 hp ballpark, any suggestions on the cam kits Texas speed has?

Depending on what you're looking to do with your heads. If you're keeping them bone stock, I would go for a 224r or 228r. If you do any work with the heads then you can go for a 230-232 cam and get a lot closer to your goal. It's possible to get around the 420 mark, but not likely without head work. A good tune will have a make a big difference as well.

edit: for a m6, go with a 113-114 lsa

Before you buy a kit i would check Geoff at EPS. I did. And ordered one of his. As well as one for my friend. But Texas Speed does have some nice kits

its hard to gain 90 rwhp with just a cam swap,you would need a really big cam to gain that.some 243/799 heads and a torquer 3 or a 231/239 cam mite do it.

The guy I bought the car from had it dynoed and if that's correct I wouldn't even need 60 rwhp to reach my goal, I wouldn't
Mind having my heads ported though

i think he means 420hp at the engine, which would be very achievable with what he's got a decent cam and tuning. Have i read that correctly?

No I mean to the rear wheel, at the crank it should be already over 400, I'm not looking for some big outrageous cam, I want something in the mild to mid range that'll give me 30 to 40 more horses at the wheels, and if a cam can't do that then so be it

Cam only with similar mods, minus UD pulley I pulled 413/391 with the TV2. I say go MS3 on 112 and enjoy your 400+ rwhp.

Would an ms3 require me to do anything to the heads or anything else?

We can set you up with a complete cam package with all the parts you need for your install. We need to decide on a camshaft based on all your goals for the car, not just a peak hp number. Give us a call & we can discuss all your options with you. I personally would probably consider something like a Torquer V3, or even a 228R if I wanted something that idles a little bit smoother.
