Help deciding on a cam for my 09 G8GT
The car has stock L92 heads with stock L76 intake, 6.0L engine, 6L80E trans, with stock 2.92 gears. i'll ditch the DOD crap.
I've been looking at a 218/224 112+0 cam
VE at .050
Intake Valve opens - IVO -3
Intake Valve closes - IVC 41
Exhaust Valve Opens - EVO 44
Exhaust Valve Closes - EVC 0
Overlap -3
and 222/228 112+2
Intake Valve opens - IVO 1
Intake Valve closes - IVC 41
Exhaust Valve Opens - EVO 48
Exhaust Valve Closes - EVC 0
Overlap 50 1
The car has the stock stall, and i plan to keep like that as i DD this car for real, 140 miles daily , and traffic here in Los angeles is not a joke. i'm aware of the benefits of having a stall, perhaps in the future she'll see a 2800rpm stall, but for now, the stock would do.
Which cam should i go for ? first one seems attractive because in theory should have lots of torque and still pull decent at top end, but would i be missing some power with it compared to the little bigger 222/228 ? i have no plans to go bigger than this, as both should lay some very decent torque across the powerband, with decent power up top.
Any help is highly appreciated.
