cam and head combo on a turbo ls1 question
i can get a pretty good deal on a set of low milage 6.0 heads with brand new set of partiot dual gold springs on them and a brand new Isky turbo cam specs are
215/215, .566''/.566'', 114*
i dont know much about specs on a cam but i was told these are good.
its a stock ls1 with a t70 turbo intercooled running 9lbs.
just curious to know if this would be a good set up for my car and what kind of power difference i might see thanks!

well im by far not a cam expert but from my experience a 224/230 on 116 is a nice mild boost cam for stock cube ls1
and if you plan on putting a 6.0 in it one day you should really put some forged internals in it or its not really going to benefit you, just add weight to your car lol
and if you do forge it then you have the option of adding more cubes (like a 408) and you would want a whole different cam for that motor
