i just picked up an 04 gto, im wondering if theres any cam set ups that i can get with out having to replace the vavles, springs, push rods, etc...

im looking for a pretty mild cam but enough for a decent supercharger set up in the future.

also if theres anyone selling a t56 conversion, pm me.

my names pete btw, nice to meet you all!

Call the guys at Texas Speed and get some reccomendations. Im pretty sure any cam requires new springs and rods though. I would think it is even more important is you plan on any kind of forced induction later on. Im putting in a 228r in and Texas Speed sells a kit with cam, springs, rods, for about $600. Its the cheapest route to go unless you can find lightly used stuff.

I'm debating on the 228R or the Torquer V.2. Texas Speed has proven cams for these motors, and for me.. being in Dallas it'll get to my door in a day! But.. stupid sales tax..rofl.. o well.. Love their products. 228R on a 112 will thump pretty good, and is still a "mild" cam..at least to me.
Good Luck

you dont want a big lopey cam for a blower.

You'll lose power with a bunch of overlap when you're FI.
So dont just get a good N/A cam because its a whole different story with boost.

yea, im not looking for a crazy lopey cam, i want something that makes a differance n/a but can handle future boosting.

For sure talk to the guys at Texas Speed. They will fix you up right. Im new to the LS engines and Jon was very helpful when i told him my plans and current setup.

Yea I'm getting the 228r on a 112 lsa. Hopefully it sounds nasty like im hoping.

I'm actually wanting to go more towards the VRX5. I heard a GTO with Corsa Sport catted LT's that sounded damn nice. Definitely not a Blower friendly cam

Blower cam and wanting to keep the stock valvetrain you will be limited on off the shelf choices, all of the choices listed in this thread would not work well for your future build! Contact some sponsors and get setup correctly from the people who know what they are talking about. You may want to keep an open mind on upgrading springs and pushrods.

Yea I got an open mind on it. I knew it would be almost impossible to find. Thanks guys. Ill post what Texas has to say

EfSeeThreeEs

Just talked to Texas they pointed me to a comp 224r. Any opinions

ChefTA

sounds like it might work. You should have like stock function and idle with that cam. It's mild for sure.

yeah that cam is mild im building a bottle baby im gonna use the ms4 for my cam

JustAnotherLS2

I agree with ChefTA....Plus those guys at TSP know their ****. If you told them what your goals are, I doubt they will send you in the wrong direction.
