Default Cam ?'s:Beat to death, I know

I want yalls input on possible cam selection. My current set up is an M6/3.42 with PS LT's, ORYP, ASP and Lid with stock cat back(to be changed later). I drive my car about 90 miles round trip to work daily. I want as much power as possible without killing drivability. I know that I will get alot of different opinions as to what is driveable, I just think that the .600 lift cams with aggresive ramps will be a bit much for me. I do like the chop in the idle! So, let me know what you've got in your cars and what you think is good.

What year is your car? If it's 98-00 you should get an LS6 intake manifold to go with the cam. If you like the chop but want it to be very driveable look for something in the low 230's. FM13 or 14 size cam.

I think you need to make friends with the seach button.

I daily drive the TSP MS3 (237/242 .603/.609 113) with a 4k stall converter and love it.

I'd recommend the 224/581 112LSA from Speed Inc. I put that cam in my car and it didn't change drivability at all. I've seen people pull 400 horsepower with this cam on stock heads. The TR224 is a similar cam to from Thunder Racing. I think most people would recommend these 2 cams being that you drive this car a lot.

I agree the F13 cam is coo I love it in my car. It should work good with you 230/232-595/585 112LSA. If you have a 98-00 you should get LS6 INTAKE,PORTED TB.

f13 drives great, if you get someone to tune it that knows what they are doing then you will not beabel to tell a difference in drivability besides a lot of power

That's funny, I've been talking to Shaner the last 4 days trying to get one. Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow.....then I can't seem to get off the phone with the guy. All this, and I'm local to him LOL. I'd feel for someone mail ordering. They'd never get one.

I still need to get my tune finished too.

if you will be putting a cam in dont worry about finishing the tune, i did that and had to redo it anyway , save your time lol. if u get the f13 cam or need some help tuning the cam let me know, ive got an f13 and i could help you with all the little idle setting to help it run pretty damn good.

You can also get your stock one ported. I am getting mine ported by BO WHITE. But I was one of the lucky few to get in his last 12 to get ported, but there is another guy on here that BO recommand a he is cammin_beaSSt and I here he does great work for $75. So try him it would be a lot less then $150.
