Default Best Cam for LS6 heads

Whats the best cam for LS6 heads? For a T56 car weighing in at 3600lbs with driver. Going with a 9inch so no worries as far as breakage, lol.

I know that was a blanket question, but does anyone have any suggestions?

On unported LS6 heads the Thunder Racing TR224 on 112 or 114 LSA is a good all around cam. Much better than the stock LS6 2002 or later cam.

Some people have stated 400 RWHP or a little more with the LS6 intake and the other usual bolt-ons

Can't beat the LGM G5X2, G5X3 or TSP MS3 with stock uported LS6 heads. With headers and bolts on figure 425rwhp with stock LS6 heads!!

Something like a F13 or F14. My buddy put down 423/408 with stock LS6 heads in his Z06 with a 6-speed and ran VERY consistent 11.71s, 11.72s @ 117.xx with it.

if your going to run nitrous get something like a 224/230 on a 114 with about 580 lift.Call combination motorsports and see what they have to say too.
