I'm trying to get back in the scene and no LS1 is right without a new bumpstick. I ran the Comp XER 224/228 581 112+2 two years ago and put down 39X with all bolt ons and 4.10's through a 10 bolt on street tires. My question is I realize cam technology has changed since then and am wondering if one of the 23x - 590-610 cams are the way to go. I constantly replaced the driver side 02 sensor even with running the hotter rear Vette 02's, not sure if that was cam/tune or LT header related or not. I see people claiming 80 rwhp from just a cam and think Hmmmmmm.

Lol, that is bigger than a mild 230's cam. TSP has some grinds that might intereset you. www.texas-speed.com

I bought quite a bit of stuff from Texas Speed and Thunder. Has anyone read this book yet? http://www.amazon.com/Dyno-Proven-Th...3013141&sr=1-1 Wondering if it's worth buying.

it all depends on what you want to do with it. Stuff like where you want to shift, what rear gear/converter (if its an auto) you want to run, do you want midrange torque or high end power, rumpity or smooth idle, etc. You might want to get a custom cam done for yourself and your goals. I had Patrick G do my custom cam recommendation based on everything I wanted, and I'm having TSP grind it for me. I think I'll be happy

I would run a 6 speed with 4.10's/4.30's and don't mind shifting at 6600-6800.

You might make an additional 80 hp from just a cam change, but you are spinning it to the moon to get there, and only looking at peak gains. If you don't mind somewhat peaky power and soft around town throttle response and driveability, then go for it.

I'd say step up for some good quality cylinder heads and select a cam that complements them and your chosen driving style. With heads, the monster cams that are out there can make nearly 500rwhp if properly tweaked. But milder setups can top 440+ rwhp with excellent manners.

If the power was where you liked it, change the 112 +2 to a 110 LSA straight up. It will be a little more stout and improvements in tuning skills will yield about the the same drivability.

here's what I'm running. it's a Comp Cam 231/237 .589/.595 112+4. Patriot Perf. heads cnc ls6,59cc, 2.02in/1.57ex. I think I'm close to max cam size for streetable dd. but, I have found out what are u willing to talorate and must have gears for it and if auto, u will need stall which I'n sure u know that.
