Default looking for a good cam

guy what do u recommened me to get a new cam for my car
to work with the verter very well i know the stall is very low but it works well with me,, any way also i wanna know wich is better to get a 112 lsa or 114
,, i heared that if u shaved the heads 'pistons area' will increase the engine compression ,, do i really need that or its not safe for the engine?
thanks any way

Wow that is a baby stall 2400. You will want a cam that peaks realy low. Leave the heads alone unless you are plaing to do ported heads and cam at the same time. With that small of a stall i would look for a 114-116 this will kill the lope though. If i where u i would find out if Vig did one free restall and have that bitch stalled up to a 3200. This would open up the cams for you. Not that u cant run a huge cam but it would hert your times to be on a such a small stall. Look at the TR 224 cam.

a cam coupled with your small stall and vitually no key bolt ons is not the way to go.

First get Headers>Y-pipe>Port the TB>LS6 intake>Tune
Then think if you want to go cam only? or Head/cam then we will advise. At this point all advices regarding a cam are pointless.

I got your PM,

I know perhaps you can buy Comp Cams locally where you live, so after the the headers and intake you could probably get a Comp 216/220 .525/.535 114, that should put you in the 370rwhp range and will work fairly well with your small stall.

220/220 110 on a 112 ICL. That will get you some big lower and midrange gain. shift at 6000. Use comp XE-R lobes. No harder to to tune than a standard 224/224 cam.
