need help picking a cam
ok folks i have a 68 camaro, 3100lbs, 10 bolt 3:73's posi. i know i will have to upgrade my rearend in the furture and add 4:11's
now i'm putting a ls1 with 799 heads, ls6 intake, ls2 timing chain, fresh rebuild, lt headrs, ported tb. i'm going to go with a t56. the car is a weekend warrior maybe one day a year at track. i never want to lose to a stock stang/ import.
but I need help picking a cam that has great lobe for classic sound but will give me a great performance. Ive heard a torque 3 AND LOVED THE SOUND.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS RECOMMEND?

what are your goals with the cam besides the lobe? hosepower? power band? and the torquer cams are real good cams, anything from Texas Speed or Thunder Racing will be good.

I like my G5X3. This is on a 114 lsa:

It would hit a little harder with a 112 lsa. Car put down 410 @ the rear tire.

475 will be a stretch with stock heads and intake. The 410 I put down was through stock 853 heads. Your 799s will flow a bunch better, maybe put you in the 435 range. The LS6 intake will really start to hold you back at this point.
