Help picking cam
I have a procharged SS that is my budget build - Looking to add a cam and i have 3 choices that i can get for around $100
1. 2002 LS6 cam
204/218
551/547 on 117
2. Hot Cam
218/227
525/525 on 112
3. Comp Cam
220/224
564/567 on 115* Lobe serperation with 3* ground in ( Dont know what all that means)
Out of these 3 cams which one would be my best bet?

I was going to go 02+ LS6 cam but decided on a variant of Speed Inc's SC1 cam, which ended up being very similar to the third cam you mentioned.
222/228, .581/.588 114+2LSA
Basically its an SC1 ground with XE-R lobes for a bit more lift and advanced 2*.
Should have a graph in a few weeks. Ported 5.3 heads, 10:1 CR, and a 3.7" pulley on a D1SC w/ FMIC

I would go with 3. As recent people on here have tested and shown, if the cam makes power N/A it is going to produce under FI. Many people like to say large cams hurt FI cars, but there are many cars out there proving them wrong. Do a little searching and you will find out.
