Cam question... I am feeling the modding bug really bad right now. All i have done to my car is an intake and open exhaust. I would love to do a h/c/i combo but just dont have the money right now. I was wondering what type of gains I could get with a cam. I also have stock headers so I would imagine it would probably be ideal to switch those out with LG. What is the difference in power i would be looking at with and with out cam. I use this car as my daily driver so drivability and longevity is somewhat of an issue. If you have any cam specs you think would be a good match that would be awesome too! Thanks for you help!
I have a buddy that has an 02 Z with a 228r cam from tsp and he is making 430rwhp. I would think, that with a good set of flowing heads you could make 450 to 460 just guessing, if the combo was right.Also the drive ability is great in his car as it sits with that cam, no surging at low rpms or anything like that. I personally is going with a 232/236 .575/578 112lsa cam with a good set of hand ported ls6 heads. I am hoping for 430 and 450rwhp. I will keep ya posted..

Personally, I would stick with a cam from LG. Race proven set-up from Lou G.
I have a G5X2 (232/240 / 595/608 @ 112 LSA) and it is awesome. I have all of the bolt ons excluding a EWP and at 13:1 AFR I made 475 RWHP and 423 RW Torque. In race trim (leaner) much more.
I know that there are other reputable tuners, but I fly with LG

I am actually a diesel mechanic in the army with some experience on engines. Have any of you guys done a cam swap on your own? I am thinking about doing it myself and having it tuned at a local speed shop but I dont want to get in over my head. Thanks for the help with the specs.
