I'm looking to install a cam come this summer, I have the following mods at the moment- BBK Long tube headers, SLP Lid, and true duals. I want a cam that wont be hard to drive with yet something that will give me a nice lope. Yet I still want to have some reliability considering the car is driven daily, I like the TSP MS3 but I'm thinking that it may be too aggressive of a profile for DD? Maybe the comp cam 224/228? Also how much should I expect to be spending all together considering I'll be doing all the work, and can you give me a list of all the parts I would need. Oh yeah the car is a M6 and has 82,000 miles on it.

The 224 or 228 would be a better choice on stock heads and stock gears. You will need to upgrade the valve springs as well

A 224 cam would be a good all around choice for a daily driver.

Hey Alvin, what about a cam for my 2003 GMC truck. I pulled the motor out of my car and put it in the truck. Its a completely rebuilt LS1 with PRC Stage 1 heads, a small Comp cam, factory truck intake, LT headers, a rebulit 4L60E tranny with a Circle D 2800 converter.
I haul my 02 Camaro with the truck as well my boat, a load of gravel, firewood, motorcycles and anything else that I throw in the bed.
The cam I am looking for still has good torque but I would like more HP and something that sounds lumpy.

Your thoughts?

Check out our Attitude V1 which held the cam only record in Trailblazer SS's for several years. We have a V2 out too which is a touch bigger (fastest NA TBSS right now) but still drives quite well. Intake duration still in the 220's.

EPS 222/226 .597"/.598" 113 would be a good choice too. Made 430rwhp in a crate LS6 motor with headers and a FAST intake.

I would go with something similar to an EPS 230/234 or 230/236. You won't be left feeling like you went too small but any half *** decent tuner can get it to drive like stock.

The EPS intake lobe and maybe a LSL exhaust should be easy on the valvetrain but still have good lift.

I have the 230/238 and I love it.

Comp cam 223/231 .600/617 112 lsa. Awesome cam made for torque. I got that with fast intake headers Cnc ported 243s ill find out numbers on Saturday.

Seing that you already have Lts and duals, may I suggest a
230/230 .612/.609 111+2 LSA cam. It has 9* positive overlap so nice lope. It will make excellent mid range trq for great acceleration and you will not have to spin it to the moon to make any power. If you like, PM me for specs.

^ this sounds about what I'm looking for. I was looking for a good cam for torque. Would you guys suggest changing out the lifters? I really don't want to pull the heads, but if it's the only option I will. Alvin, how much are you guys charging for a Dyno Tune? You guys are about the closest place to me.

PREDATOR-Z

Lifters are not necessary, (assuming yours are all in good working order). You'll get a better idea once you remove your stock cam.

How about springs? I was thinking about probably doing Lutani beehive springs 74818LUN and then not doing a cam over .600 lift due to the fact of it being a DD. What kind of push rods should I get? What length?

Texas-speed makes some killer spring sets, I would look into those for sure. I wouldn't go with .600's though, do the .650 set. As far as push rod's go, thats just something you'll have to measure yourself. A comp checker will run ya around 20$.

How about the Torquer V2 cam? 232/234 112 LSA shouldn't it make some good low end torque?

HCI2000SS

I run the Torquer V2 and really like it but I have ported 5.3 heads, and 4.10 gears too. It would still be a good cam, and would work well if you decided to do future mods as well

I'd go with a nice 228/230 cam, or as with mentioned above the eps 222/226 and enjoy long and quiet spring life.

Okay here is my list of parts
-TSP's camshaft package (http://www.texas-speed.com/p-1157-te...ve-spring.aspx)
Going with either the Torquer V.2 112 LSA or the 228R 112 LSA
-Melling HP oil pump (http://www.ebay.com/itm/380608285830?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D380608285830%26_rdc%3D1)
-Timing cover gasket set (Napa/Fel-pro)
-GM pick up tube O ring
-LS2 Timing chain set (https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-cla...new-gm-55.html)
-misc (oil, antifreeze, spring compressor, etc)

How does this look? Suggestions or advice? I'm right at 1000 bucks total for parts at the moment, giving 100 or so extra for misc stuff like fluids.

I went with a 226-230 112 lsa eps cam. I drive the car everyday. I used psi 1511 springs with stock retainers I got around 16,000 miles on the setup. Everything's good. Eps did the tune on it. Car drives near stock until I mash the go pedal.
