Hey what's up guys, I have the chance to pickup an ls6 cam package with cam, new springs, seals, retainers, and locks for 250 bucks...

Now I know this is a good deal but I'm concerned bc the lsa on that cam is 117.5 which is less than optimal for a carbed engine...at the same time I am more worried about budget than ultimate performance. My question is has anyone ran an ls6 cam in a carbed engine? I wanted to check in and see what thoughts/opinions you guys had before I pull the trigger on this deal....thanks

Ps: I will be running the 799 heads at about 10:1 compression on the Aluminum 5.3 with a performer edelbrock intake and 750 Holley....

It would work, but seams awful small for a carbed setup, but is a great price.

Where in Pa are you, and what is this going in...if you dont mind me asking

Any other carbed LS guys out there? What off the shelf cams you guys running? I'm thinking of something with a 111/112 lsa...

You might even want to look at the GM ASA cam....it still on yhr smaller side but around s 110 lsa

look at a small duration TSP cam pkg,or consider comp cam 54-455-11.maybe check out camquest6 and plug in different cams to see if any cam meets your goals.will you be using the elderbrock intake ignition system for ls engines ?

No I'm goin to use the msd 6ls with a map sensor so I will be able to dial it in for mileage on the street and full performance at the track...I like the asa cam suggestion though I didn't think of that...

Look in the for sale section....might be able to get a deal on one
