What is the biggest Texas Speed Cam I can run on my stock 2000 heads?
Topic pretty much sums it up lol, I just want a quick street car still capable of having good street manners. I have a 2000 WS6 with the mods in my sig, Im getting QTP headers and a LS7 clutch to go along with the cam. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

The cam is the brain of you car, you need to put serious thought into its selection. You can put in a massive one that sounds great on idle but doesnt perform, you need to match a cam to all your mods, gear, intake, exhaust, goal for the car, all track, daily driver etc.

why does everybody always start with dont get a big cam etc........?
the biggest cam is probably not the best idea but it is what he wants
to the op
the ms4 is about the biggest you can go with a stock motor
you will need good vavle springs because if you start getting valve float your going to tap the pistons(tsp has some really nice one they just came out with)
and look into getting 4:10 gears your going to need them with a big cam to get car in a usable power range

The bigger the cam the more complimenting parts are needed also. 22x cams could use less gear/converter/RPM compared to a 24x cam that needs steeper gearing/more breathing/bigger converters, and of course more RPM.
The 228R and TQ3 are both good middle-of-the-road camshafts for stock heads, and any 224ish sized camshaft is a nice generous upgrade from stock.

This is not from Texas Speed but probably what you are looking for. Its called the Whiplash II and its around 250 duration @ .050 on a 113 LSA. I guess it drives like stock.

Hey I appreciate all the help guys, Ive done a fair bit a research and one of my buddies is helping me out alot as well. I just wanted to know what cam will give me good useable gains on the stock 2000 heads. I dont know if it has the 853 or 241 heads, Im at FT Stewart right now and the car is at Ft knox. I figured a big cam like V3+ will probably need bigger heads to get more air to them to get the best results.
Ive honestly been leaning on V2 or 228R, also Id rather leave my gears stock. But if its a "must do" upgrade I can do it. Thanks again guys.
