Default Need the best FI cam I can get

Hey guys my car is a H/C car I have the TSP PRC LS6 Stage one heads and a 232/234, .595"/.598 cam. I am thinking about adding a D1SC unit to my setup I will change the cam but I only want to do it once and get the best cam I can for the D1. The car does have a stock bottom end that I will keep on the car for a few months then I'll buy a Forged Short Block from TSP to make about 11-14 PSI. For now I will only run 6 psi on the stock bottom end. Whats the best cam I can get? Also are my heads alright for FI?

The heads will be fine, actually the cam you are running now will be fine for a while. At 6psi I dont believe you will see enough gains to do a cam swap just yet. I would wait and do the cam when you get the shortblock and turn up the boost.

And there is no such thing as best.....unless you were to do some serious hours of dyno testing with various cams.

Everything else is speculation.

wait till you get a shortblock and then call a sponsor and tell them your setup and goals and they can help you with a custom grind. Try giving Speed inc a call.

what's the LSA on the cam. hope it's 113 or wider. duration at .050 looks good as well as lift.
