Default lookin for some cam recommendations

I think it's time to swap the cam.

Lookin for input on cam choices,please.
Also need a list of things needed for the cam to work correctly,springs,pushrods,lifter etc etc.
I have the following mods(also in sig)
Hooker LT's,custom ORY
Borla
LID/K&N
tr6 .035 gap (for nitrous)
Built 4l60e
Yank PT4000
Diablo Predator hand held tune(not a downloaded tune)
3:42 gears
Walbro 255 in-tank
N/X 150 shot


Hoping to get real close to 400 at the wheels without spraying it.
Not my DD,so i am not too worried about less than perfect driveability.
Low 11's with a cam swap would just SUCK,lol.

Thanks for your input

Dave

i would suggest the g5x4. although the cam wants more stall for a n/a application, you have definite plans of spraying it, so that 4k stall would work well.

almost any dual springs will work, ti retainers, valve seals, etc.

also maybe some rod bolts, as you will shift close to 7k with any cam capable of ~400rwhp through an unlocked stall car.

how does the g5x4 work with nitrous as apposed to the MS3 which is supposed to take very nicely to it. I'm talking like a 100- 150 shot

very well...the g5x3 and g5x4 cams are both nitrous based cams, hence their wide duration split.

just ask juggernaut how the x4 likes n2o..

Well ur not worried about drivability issues you could go for broke and get a TREX. Otherwise the MS3, G5X3, and G5X4 will get you to your 400 mark and more than likely exceed it with a good tune.

I started looking into my options and now i am getting antsy,i also should have never started checking out sound clips either.

The G5X4 might be the 1 for me,thanks for the suggestions.

the x4 is a bad mamma jamma. the only thing i might suggest would be a larger stall - 4400+.

and SLICKS!

g5x4
