Default Good cam for bolt ons

Hey all, I'm getting a full exhaust, a k&n intake (or slp) and an MGW Shifter. I was curious as to which can would go well with these and future bolt ons? When I get into the more expensive mods I'll switch up the cam. But for now what would work best? I'll be getting it tuned by Solid Tech Performance when all is said and done.


Also, while you're here, what long tube headers would you suggest? (I'll be getting the adjustable borla for my catback)

Thank in advance!

honestly I wouldnt switch the cam later on.... theres no point. get something that serves a good purpose for you're needs any cam will work without full bolt ons it will just be optimized later with them.

well we're gonna need more info to recommend a cam. is the car a dd? do you care about how it drives? Do you want power up top or all around? is your car manual or auto? if its an auto what size stall do you have/ will have?

all those things are vital to recommend a cam. and btw this is the genIV section for ls2/3 etc which is why he suggested an ls2 cam. for an ls1 it should be in gen III

Fair enough, my bad.
It is a dd, I do care about how it drives, I'd prefer the power to be all around, my car has an M6.

And that's my bad.. Still learning about my car, just bought it a few weeks ago, never had an LS before this. Was a Mustang guy lol..

What intake do you currently have. If its the LS1 I'd highly recommend an LS6 at minimum if doing a cam
