Looking for some opinions on a better cam for my setup
Here's the setup:
Street car with 4:56 gears, 6 speed
Weighs in at 4000 lbs with driver
Stock bottom end, flycut pistons for current setup
MS3 cam
PRC stage 2.5 5.3l heads. i believe they are 2.04/1.575 valves
kook 1 7/8 headers
ls6 intake
full bolt ons
OLSD tune
car made 450/400 at the wheels in it's current setup.
Car has great top end rpm pull 4500-7000
It sucks for anything below 4500. I have been able to get it better with more fuel in the low torque area, but it just isn't good enough
I want a cam that is tire blistering off idle without too much sacrifice up top. I would be more than happy to shift at 6500 instead of 6900.
I really miss the torque of the smaller cams like the TR224.
Recommend me a cam that would make great low end torque, without "too much" loss at peak. I'd give up 10-15 peak for some really good torque in the 2000-4000 range
Thanks
