Camming my car... 1999 LS1, 6 speed, american racing long tubes, full adjustable borla exhaust, slp lid, K&N drop in.
Im going to go with a LS1 Hot Cam. I have the cam, its what Im using, I just want a little more power. Please do not try and tell me about other cam options out there, my car is DD, I dont race it much, and dont care if I get a huge gain. Just want a little more. Anyways I know nothing at all about cams, everything else I am good on. Can someone link me to a good site to learn me?
I need to know what all will it be a good idea to change while I am in the motor. Pushrods I know, and springs. What else? Im on a budget so I dont want overly expensive parts, just enough to get the job done and never have to worry about it again.
