I have done a lot of research and have been reading alot about the cams that are offed for the ls1 stock longblock but I just need your advice for my specific situation so I am finally doing my cam swap and will be ordering today or tomorrow I have a 98 stock longblock with all the bolt ons headers, exhaust, 85mm BBK intake, yank 2800 stall, 3.73 gears and want to know which one of this cams will be the best or if you have any other cam suggestions le me know here is what i am looking for:

I do not want to flycut
I want a big cam
that will love spray
have a lot of power off the bottle
I do not care about gas mileage or being street friendly I want the most power this is not my daily driver

so please le me know which cam will be the best to make the best power on and off the bottle thanks in advance

your definitely gonna need a bigger stall than that 2800. i would definitely looking into getting a beefed up tranny before u spray your car. stock trannies + N20= NO BUENO!! dont know much on the polluter as it is a new cam. the MS3 i know loves the spray.

The Polluter looks like it'd cater to your needs perfectly - it loves the spray as well.

Look in the dyno section before you make a decision. It's easy for someone to claim a camshaft is great, but we test hundreds of camshaft combinations in a effort to offer the best possible performing camshafts for our customers.

We test camshafts on the engine dyno looking for little power gains here & there in a effort to make sure we provide proven performers that out dyno the competition!

For example we're getting back on the dyno later this week. We have 5 different camshafts with just different exhaust lobes on them! The purpose it so track down what exhaust lobe works best for heads cam & cam only applications! We're also testing several new lobes that were built specifically for TSP.

Look for dyno results very soon!!!

Yea man.. it's a hard decision.. lol
*Cough* POLLUTER *Cough*

I LOVE it.. and it LOVES the spray..
What more can you as for from a 2001 SS with a factory LS6 intake and some beat up OLD SLP headers with a welded patch over one of the tubes??

Out of curiosity, how much power did your car pick up at the tires and which size shot?

One thing that I have seen with alot of cams, that I personally don't agree with due to some factual information, is the lift that people are running with stock heads, even with the aftermarket intakes.

The heads, depending on which ones your car came with (year, engine model, etc) only flow between 260 and what 270ish? They also do that at about 500 to 520 lift, depending on the head.

To go pushing the valve a ton past that point is aloot of wear and tear that are only going to get you minimal power gains, and rdramaticially decrease valvetrain life.

I'd personally like to see some of the big cams out there, MS4's polluters, trex, vindicators, hell for the sake of saying a 244/250 on a 110 lsa, but have them all cut for a max of 550 lift no more. Get the valve open as quick as reasonably possible to the 480 to 530 lift area, peak it at 550 and leave it open as long as possible and shut it quickly.

I'd like to see what kind of power this would make, and compare that to the bigger lift with the same duration/lsa/overlap/timing as the higher lift lobes, then after 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000 miles pull the valvesprings on both the big lift and the low lift same timing/duration specs and see which ones are in better/worse shape. Obviously slamming valves open and closed is ahrd on springs too, but not to the level of opening and closing them the same but with more actual movement would be.



Is there any one special cam that is gonna work for the thread starter's car? Not specificially, being a 98 it definately needs a oil pump and rod bolts when the cam goes in, but I think anything with a the duration in the 240's is gonna work, and being a stock motor, it's only gonna take about 200 hp of nitrous before the reliability of the motor is going to become a major concern. That being said cut the cam for n/a performance, and spray it the stock shortblock won't take enough nitrous to have a nitrous grind camshaft be of any benefit.

Polluter? Come on guys, the cam may prove to work fine but the guy who named it should be smacked on his bare ***** with a plastic spoon.

agreed, but spoon? how about a sledgehammer

pretty crappy marketing IMO and just adds to the negative stereotype hotrodders get

not to mention it makes me think of a crappy throw together car that smells like a gas station with a leak cause it runs like ****
