how much power do you want? and do you want to sacrifice driveability for power? what will you use the car for?

Is your car a daily driver? Are you looking for a big cam? We need some questions answered before we can really help you find a cam.

what year ls1,ls6 intake?you can make close to 400 rwhp with a torquer 2/3 with stock heads and a good tuner.look at TSP website and look at the cam kits.

i want to try to make 400rwh with a cam and some other stuff. do you think i need to do the heads to make that much. it a once and awhile driver might drive it 2 days during the week in summer only. dont care if i loose some driveabiltiy. i would like it to have a noticleable lidle too. i want to use it for track ocasionaly and one and a while to work not every day. i woldent mind a big cam if it gave it a good ildle sound and goo power. its an 01 ta ws6 with ls6 intake. plan to put longtubes and fast intake an tb on it. thanks.

you can get to 400rwhp cam only, but some ported stock casting or aftermarket heads will make quite a bit more power.

What is the mileage on the motor? how high are you willing to rev it?

I would recommend looking at the torquer v.3 camshaft. It has an aggressive idle, but broad powerband so its still easy to drive on the street. We have that cam in a package right now for $690.

its got 65000km so like 40000miles. i like to rev it to6000rpm. how much power increase would the torquer v.3 camshaft make. and do i have to change valve springs.

whats the best cam for power without changine valve springs what hp would i get thanks. how much would i get with the torquer v.3 camshaft.

lol....yeaaaah. not happening. for a cam swap you need springs, push rods, and a timing set. at the minimum. lifters, trays, and oil pump are are recommended.

Ummmmm.. No..

I figured you were, but I think the OP took you serious.

Can't see the pic up here at work. I'll have to take a look when I get to the house.

KevinR

Hmmm. Guess I shouldn't have expected any less.

what r u looking for, or should i say why r u so interested in keeping your stock springs? do u just want it to have the i have a CAM sound? ASA/Hotcam an stock ls6's if u want it to have more bark then bite! no spring worries! Please dont try an install without oil pump timing chain pushrods AT LEAST! lifters, and ls2 lifter trays would be a plus an make it even safer!
Did u think changing a cam was as simple as 1,2,3?? the small things are what add up. gaskets, bolts, tools if your doing it yourself! call texas speed, they are very helpful

i will probaly do it wright and buy doublr roller chain and oil pump pushrods springs. it just looks bad to put the air into each cylender with the tool did a tune up on it wasent the easyest thing to do. but i will do it wright and buy all that stuff. im a tech so i dont mid doing the work it doest seem that bad to do. ive only done it on silverados and sierras when the lifter colapes and wipes out the cam. looks alot lighter working area in a trans am. what a respectibe hp to produce with the torqer v3 cam?. can i send my pcm out to be tuned? or i will have to find someone in canada that can tune it. thanks

garygnu

go TSP website and look at cam Pkgs and supporting parts,oil pump,ls2 timing chain,and gasket.you can send your pcm to a guy on here called FROST,he dose good mail order tunes.go to ls1howto.com for any needed instructions.
