Best cam that'll fit under stock heads? What's the best cam that will fit under stock 241 heads? I wanna put a bigger cam in my TA but i dont want to have to flycut. I want a cam that puts out some decent power, but it's gotta sound nasty. I want it to lope HARD, but not so lopey it'll be hard as hell to tune. What do ya'll suggest?

that F15 looks like a beast from the specs, i might think about the F14, i'd kinda rather keep it under 600 lift for better spring life. The F14 looks like the same specs as a Torquer V2. I kinda wonder about Futral's cams after that bad batch of F13's they put out.

you can also email Lunati / Comp / TSP/ Thunderracing etc.etc. and see what they have.. I have a Lunati grind cam in my 99 formy and its a 234/236 .050 .544 .545 @ 110 LSA Lopes REALLY NOTICABLY..but wont shake the hell outta your car either..completely streetable..with that cam i put down 385/395 w/ a stock LS1 intake and stock throttlebody...since then i bought an LS6 and an 80 mm BBK and yes i had LT's and the loudmouth 1 exhaust..

Shoot Slowhawk a PM I just installed on of his cams in a friends car with 241 heads sounds mint loops hard and put 400+ rwhp with basic cam bolt on's.
Another cam you could go with a g5x2 or g5x3 they'll fit and give good power

i'll pass.Exactly why I sold mine. Go with a G5X4....the BEST cam only cam in my opinion. If you want to stay around .600" lift, the F14 will work well, or the G5X2.

the previous owner got the engine built, if i would have done it, then i would have done pistons with valve reliefs. That's the problem with buying modded cars i guess, everyone mods differently. I didn't know how bad these LS1's are with PTV until recently. I've only messed with LT1's until i got this TA. My friends LT1 has like .060 off the heads and a big cam with no PTV issues and an LS1 cant take hardly any milling with a decent sized cam, with flycutting.
