I'm going to need your guys help. I want to put a cam in my car. What would be the best to let me still have decent gas mileage? I want my car pretty fast..(I want to be able to smoke my ex's..he always said I would never get my car to beat his). I want like 15ish gas milage. Thanks guys!

What are the specs on your ex's car?? I havent figured out mileage yet on my M6 SS but i just had the torquer V2 installed and i dynoed right around 390hp 380tq. I think its pretty fast, from a 80 mile drive...half which was rush hour traffic i went through about a 1/4 tank. Sounds sick too. Good luck, p.s if gas mileage is something your looking for, you should look into a beater w/ a 4cyl or something.

Well I want to drive my T/A all the time. I don't know the specs. It's a Joe Overton cam that's all I know.

What are some decent cams on gas milage...if I have to lose alot of milage it will be fine.

This should answer all of your questions.

You should do exhaust first to your car if it has stock manifolds. That there is a gas robber. Bolt on cars are alot of fun, I miss those days.

I have always heard that with a GOOD tune, almost any came will give you good gas mileage. So my suggestion is get what you want.

I did the lid and K&N first with all of the free mods. Then I did the headers y pipe and cut out. I did the mac headers and Y pipe. the Mac headers are mid length so you get the HP and they dont get all tore up when you go over a speed bump. Cam this is just for me because I drive it everyday although you may want to go another way I went with the lingenfelter sleeper cam listed in the signature it is a stealthy cam what I meen is that you cant even tell you have a cam but you can definately feel it I guarantee you will feel it when you install it all through the RPM's the springs have to go in also just a heads up. I also installed wider rear wheels and Nitto drags. I am not finished yet I am working on he throttle body and the intake and last the tune. The cam is great for me. When i buy anither car I can drive everyday I might go bigger but for now it serves its purpose very well.

Just curious are you a girl/woman? If you are thats kind of a turn on I guess. Not to many chicks that want to mod a car? Thats like cool.

Beastly sound is cool. I just want mine to sound mean, but also be mean.

lol,

15mpg, I'm sure I could get worse than that out of a stock LS1 it all depends how you drive it

If you want a fast car do all the bolt ons (lid, intake, TB, headers, catback) plus a sensible cam for your needs. Are you auto or M6?

Gears will help especially with an M6 if auto you'll want a decent stall. Matching the cam to the setup will be beneficial and ulitmatley faster.

Will it be roll racing or at a track from a dig? PEAK HP isn't always the fastest setup and having more low and mid range grunt can be a much better setup for roll racing.

Finally add a 100-125 shot of nitrous just in case

Any cam over 220 you can hear lope at idle. Depends on how it's tuned for idle. I just put in the TR 224/224 and love the idle, it's up a bit but when it finds it's idle sitting at a light, you can hear my cam. Had a guy in a Civic say "Wow that things camming" I said it's just alittle one, didn't mention the heads on my car though LOL.

Just remember, added power breaks ****. 10 bolts are easy yet expensive victims.

Don't forget LSA, the lower the lobe separation, the beastlier the idle. IE a 112 LSA cam with otherwise identical specs as a cam with a 114 LSA will have a much more menacing idle.

Hot cam is a 219/228 on a 112 and has a BEAST idle with a very low mainantance worry about changing valvesprings with the .525 lift they are a very decent cam for the price. 430 for cam springs and retainers!
