I have a 2004 gto ls1 that im installing into a 70 gto. Im looking for a cam to give the engine a better sound (and performance). This is going to be a DAILY DRIVER all summer long so I just need a cam that is alittle more than what is in there. I dont want the car to run rough but a very slite rough idle is ok. What cam options do I have? What about valve springs? Will the stock computer be ok with it? Thanks for the help

P.S. The car will have long tube headers on it if that makes a difference on the cam.

Ok, why do you like that cam?

TR224 114. light cam idle (you know its there) and very smooth for DD and has plenty of low end around town. if your exhaust is quiet you would almost think it drives like stock. you could go with a beehive from PAC to take care of the valve springs.

22X/23X 585-590 lift range on a 113 with a good set beehive springs.

x2 on this cam but if your auto you'll still need a converter!

you wanted something small, gives a little chop, will make a little more power than stock.

We have a comp xr265hr on my wife's '04 goat. The mods are in my sig. If you would like, I can go take a video of it so you can hear how she sounds. Has a slight lope/shake at idle- just enough to let you know it has a cam.

I think the 224R or 228R will be for you

Since the car is a little heavy, you might want to think the 228R like said above just for a little better go and keep the low end torque. Stay on the 114 LSA for whatever you get.

Will I have to have the computer tuned with the 224 or 228? also would a higher stall help the cam to work better?

yes! & yes!................ even the stock cam would work better with a converter! and a good tune can make a 224 0r 228 cam feel almost stock!

as mentioned above 224 or the 228. as for lope, if you want it soundly, go with 112lsa. 114lsa will sound like a stock corvette cam but just slightly lopey. thats my opinion on 114. and as stated u will need a higher then stock stall converter.

heres mine... 231/237 .589/.595 112+4

228r thats what i run in my DD

Ok, seems that many of you like the tr224 or 228. My car is about 4000lbs with a 3:55 gear. Do you have an idea of what rpm stall I could go with?

A 224/224 cam will work great for you. We also have our 224/232 cam that drives great and produces a ton of torque. Any thing in that range and you will be doing good
