With application which cam would you recomend?
01 Firehawk M6, with a 12-bolt 4.10 gears, hooker LT's, with lanes flo pro twisties (I think I'll go with the flo pro's anyways) SLP air lid, and a spec stage 3 clutch. I'm shooting for mid to low 11's (and yes i can drive pretty damn good) with a cam and stock heads.. Which one would you go with? I've been told the TREX and I'm pretty set on it, but as far as a daily driver what other cam with stock heads should I look into.

to shoot for mid to low 11's your gonna need a pretty damn big cam & weight reduction, I'd say trex is one of the few cams out there that will get you where you want to go but its up to you to finish up with all the other bolt ons if you havent done so & consider switching gears. I know smokin TA's got 4.56's and goes through the traps in 4th running low 11's which is where youd want to be...I'd look at his combo thouroughly if you want that performance.

We are higher than 1100 ft here in AZ, and we have people running 10's on heads and cam, and 11's on cam only, it's all in the tune and traction, the LG, TREX, TSP, etc cams that are big enough and make the power will get you there.

**** no, it sounds SOOOOOOO MEAN, total muscle car. I have a Borla on, with the smallest plate in there, and it's still loud as hell and deep muscle car sound. I plan to get some vids of the car real soon so people can hear it. I have the 114lsa too, and it doesn't seem any different as far as the lopey sound than my 112lsa Comp cam did before.

There are plenty of stock or very lightly modded F-bodies running your times at TV. Both my A4 cars ran 13.5 - 13.6 /104 with only a lid. And there is a big difference from running mid to low 11s (your original statement) and hitting 11s or high 11s. At TV, you are lucky to ever see a DA below 2000 and it's usually in the 3000~4000 ft range.

The TREX might not be for you then, reports of not so great drivability below 2000 rpm, NEEDS tall gears and tuning, etc. Not pushing the X3 or X2 on you, but they make a lot of power and are VERY VERY drivable everyday, I drive my car everyday, and it's bitchin'!!!!!
Also take a look at the TSP cams, they seem to do alright as well.
