Default new to ls1's, but...

whats the name of that cam that runs great on stock heads/headers? i could have sworn i read something about a cam that produced real decent numbers on stock headers/heads.

thanks!

Some say they feel uncomfortable running the OE springs with the stock cam. I'm beginning my research for a cam down the road and from what I've gathered, you'll want to replace a little more than just springs. Also, If you have a 98-00, Most say swapping out the oil pump and timing chain is good to do while you've got everything pulled apart.

And in reguards to the CheatR cam. Thunder Racing sells it and Do a search on this forum for it. There's days worth of info on that cam and others like it. Trust me, I'm still trying to read/retain all the info.

That is a LSK/XE-R lobed cam, needs duals for sure (maybe shimmed as well, but I know some run it unshimmed with PP/PRC duals)
