Looking for cam input for a PRC 2.5 headed 10.3:1 LS1 Vette Just like the title says. I bought a vette (my first ever, finally!) and it came to me minus engine. I got a fresh LS1 with Mahle forged flat tops, all balanced with stock rods and crank with arp bolts and studs. I just sent payment for a set of PRC 2.5 5.3 heads with 63cc chamber. Now I am looking for input on the cam. It is a very light 6 speed 99 FRC. I want a good amount of lope. Don't want to have to worry about PTV clearance. I for sure want 400+ rwhp and 430+ would be nice.

For that set up and that power figure being your goals finding a cam will be very easy. If you want good street manners with good torque and a nice chop I would recommend the 228R cam on a 110° LSA. That cam would put you over your 400 hp goal. Here is a video that I've found on YouTube of someone running that exact cam but in an F-body. Granted, we can definitely go bigger but if those are your goals and you want a cam that will still have good street manners with a good tune then this is what I would recommend.

Correct, he had a cut out in the Y-pipe. You can get a dual exhaust to sound similar. It would be harder in a Y-pipe style cat back in an F-body through the mufflers. I've heard it run through true duals in person and it sounds similar to the video but with a deeper tone.

This is the car but without any of the procharger stuff. I am honestly not sure on the gear ratio. I will figure that out next week though.
