Cam?
Looking to go for a max effort cam and wanting suggestions, first off I have a 2000 Trans Am WS6, right now my mods are TSP P&P stage 1 LS6 heads, not milled, Fast 92 ported by Tony Mamo, 92mm NW TB, Torquer V3 cam, 7.4 TSP pushrods, PRC dual springs, melling high flow oil pump, ls2 timing chain, ls7 lifters and ls2 trays, trunnion upgrades, 42 lb injectors, 255 fuel pump with hot wire kit, Eldelbrock Victor series drag race headers stepped, fully built 4l60e with yank ss 4k stall, 12-bolt with 3.73 gears. I have plenty more mods but that should be enough info, my current track times are 11.2@122 so far. I have talked to Martin at Tick and he suggested I go with the SNS torquemax stage 3, from all the reviews and vids of this cam I know I would be very happy with it but I wanted to see what the board had to say or if a custom grind would be better. I am trying to break into the 10's and want more high end grunt, I rarely if at all drive the car on the street, 99% of the driving I do is at the track. Oh yeah my race weight is around 3200lbs, sorry for the long post just wanted to be thorough.

I daily drove my 04 gto for a while with a stock cube 346 and ran a 238/242 .624/.624 112 lsa cam and 4000 stall. Maybe look at something like that but with higher lift

Here are a list of shelf grind max effort cams:

Vengeance Racing Vindicator 240/244 112
HPE Megadeth 244/242 112

Well I am not looking for a cam for my LS1 anymore, I am trading my cam to a buddy of mine for his LQ9 block that I will stroke out to a 408, I will transfer everything from my current motor to it and just replace the cam with of course something more suitable to a 408 like the texas giant or something like that. I will be keeping it N/A and wanting around 500-550HP, the rotating assembly I am looking at is from Speed inc and is there 408NA one with 11.8CR, I am thinking this would be a good start and I should be close to 500 with my current mods, I will upgrade to better heads later, for now I will run my stage 1 ls6's.

Back to what I said earlier. ...if you go 408 and want almost stock drivibilty then a 238/242 would be good, but I love my 255/271 in my 408...but if your sticking with a stock style ls6 or fast intake id go smaller than my cam...the carb style and tunnel rams favor larger cams (im running an edelbrock proflo xt)
