Cam recommendations for my 402 Hey all, I need some recommendations on a new cam for my A4 vette. Here is my current setup:
402 stroker w/ 12:1 compression, stage 3 ls6 heads, 90mm fast intake w/tb, 1-7/8 kooks w/ offroad x-pipe through corsa, 3600 stall, 3.73 diff, cam 224/224 581/581 lsa 114.
I know it’s a pretty small cam but when I first built the car I just wanted a very streetable everyday driver. It first started with a 2800 stall but after I blew up the trans, I replace the converter with the 3600. It seems a little tame for me now and I’m looking to make it more of a street/strip car that can handle a little traffic and some 30 mile cruises on Sundays. I don’t want something that surges like crazy and needs new valve springs every couple months. I spoke with the original engine builder about putting in more of a performance cam and he speced out the following for me 236/238 601/605 lsa 111. How do you think the car would drive? What other cams would you guys recommend?

Depending on the CAM, you determine to be the next best one for you will determine how the engine will perform.
Make sense? Or pay someone to do it for you, I think Patrick G, can/will?
