Default Help choosing cam

Im currently running AFR 205 heads W/66CC (not milled), 42lb injectors and a few other mods. My current cam setup is comp cam 224/230 (intake .581)(.588 exhaust)(114 lobe) and a few buddies recommended I go bigger. Ls1 guys, lemme know what you think.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance, Jamie

It kinda depends on what you're trying to accomplish with the car. DD, drag race, etc?? What torque converter & gear?

what do you want, more upper end power, more lower end power, what are you trying to accomplish, need to state a little more info, right now you have a pretty good setup, give us a few more details

See now thats a good question even for myself, I think what I should do is get a good tune and see how I like my setup then. Everyone keeps saying go bigger go bigger but without a proper tune I dont even know if what I have is what I want. I figured I would just ask to see. I dont want something so big it wont idle, and I already have plenty of traction problems.

ya i would say get a good dyno tune that would be smart before you swap for another cam.
