Default Please help me pick a cam

I have a 2002 Z28. It is a stock motor with 1 3/4 headers with true duals.
Ls6 intake with BBK 85 mm throttle body. Built tranny with TCI 3000 stall.
I have ford 9 in with 4.11
The car had a trickflow cam in before 220 222 i think and was tuned with for that.

The car is not a daily driver. Will be more of a weekend warrior. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

I kinda thought of selling everything and building a forged motor for it.
I have 2 good running low mileage complete 2002 LS1 motors, a total of 3 LS6 intakes
and a handful of other parts.

Just call eps/tsp or another sponser.in the end thats what your going to do anyway.why are you thinking forged motor? Turbo maybe? In that case sell 2 of those intakes and buy a 5.3,

If you go much bigger on cam you will need a better/bigger stall converter.

No, nothing for sale here. If it was than there would be prices for items. Looking for ideas which route other members would suggest. I listed the items that i have as an option that i would have as to selling them in order to upgrade. Thank you for your constuctive comment.

you will either need a bigger stall or a small cam like a tr224 .look at thunder racing or Texas Speed for a good price on a cam pkg.if you want a forged motor do a 383 stroker ls motor.

Really depends on what your looking to get out of the setup, but like others have said to go to a larger cam you will most definitely need to go with different converter. We have many different directions we could go with this build so feel free to give us a call with any questions or concerns you have.

My car isn't a dd. I have a Speed Inc SI6 cam and love it. It pulls very hard and sounds mean. But I also have a Yank SS 4000 stall.
