Cam Suggestion/HELP ME I know there is posts all over the place about cam selection but i was looking for someone to tell me what a good choice would be for my car. I know choosing the right cam can be a science and i just don't have the experience to make that decision on my own. That being said, i have a 2000 M6 z28 ls1, i have only bolt ons and am gonna keep it that way for now with the exception of a cam. I have an ls6 intake, slp lid, pacesetter longtubes and off road y, and magnaflow catback. Im looking for a cam package that will really give me a good sound. I have seen the big ***** thumper which is ground for loud exhaust. I also plan on a Frost tune after I'm done. This is my daily driver so i am concerned about losing a lot of mpgs so i am wary of a cam at all. If you guys have any good suggestions for a cam that would not destroy my gas milage, give me hp, streetabilty, and not crazy expensive i would appreciate it. I know this is a specific request but i appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

My suggestion would be go with the tick performance street heat stage 2 cam and also go with an h pipe dumped before the axle using a 3" pipe and the magnaflow 14419 muffler. This would be a cheap setup and sound absolutely sick sounding/performing.

Your best bet is to do a custom grind cam to your current setup. There are several vendors here who could help you out. me personally i went with Tickperformance SNS torquemax 3. Martin their cam guru is a great guy to work with. Just tell him exactly what you want and hell spec out something for you.
Also i hear about Pat G and Geoff @ EPS ... So many options to choose from. Give them a call.

thanks for the quick reply, however, i just finished the exhaust on the car now so i dont think i will be changing it again just yet. That would be an awesome set up though, i have the longtubes to an y pipe, to a magnaflow 3" in and dual 2.5" out.

Get on the tick performance website and click on the cam I suggested. Watch the video clip. I thnk you will like it. I'm very picky about sound and I loved it.

Thanks for the kind words guys! To the OP, I try to stick around here as much as I can nowadays, but lately it's gotten tough to answer all the PM's and questions I receive. If you can call our shop or send me an email to martin@tick-performance I can get back to you much quicker. Thanks!

A 224-228/228 (or around that range) makes for a good dd cam. A dyno tune practically a must after a cam swap. Frost tuning is for headers, gears/stall, air/egr..ect.
