I'm far from knowledgeable about cams and I'm taking some radical advice from someone I'm not 100% sure of their credibility. (Just haven't known him for long)
I wanted to pass it by some of you guys for opinions.


Car Specs:
Rearmount 78mm comp turbo, c5 z06. Basically stock ls6, tuned on a mystery "mild boost cam" which I'm not unhappy with, but I don't know any different. 2 separate build sheets show 2 different cam specs, but it's probably somewhere around 222/220 .596 .590 115 LSA
Sufficient fueling for what I want to do, which is 700-800whp.
Dual Springs, Head Studs, LS9 Head Gaskets, ls6 lifters.
(would like to go frontmount soon, but not happening yet). I run 12-15lbs boost depending on the moment. Haha. Dyno'd 650whp at 12lbs. Pretty dependant on 91oct + meth, but I plan on getting an additional E tune for the rare times I'm near an E pump.

The question:
I killed a lifter, and probably the cam. To replace the cam, I have 3 choices.

1) Throw in a stock ls6 cam (easiest option, as I already have a spare... but do you recommend better than ls6 cam?)
2) Throw in a more purpose specific cam recommended by you guys and/or a cam manufacturer
3) **Throw in the cam described below that is being endorsed by the guy I mentioned at the beginning, but it seems too inappropriate. This is the whole reason for my question.

the #3 cam: .625/.625 232/236 LSA112
N/A cam, but the guy is telling me that I'd be surprised how well N/A specific cam's work in a boosted application. And I wonder... then why are there cams made specifically for boost application.
That's a huge lift, but he says that an engine builder buddy back home says PTV would be fine. Is that way overboard for the 243 heads, wasting energy on such a huge lift? What about the rest of the specs? 112 would be pretty lopey I imagine. Of course I would love a kickass sounding idle, but how would that perform in my application?

I'm hoping to hear a common answer hear of either "that would be good", or "That would be stupid bad". Any other thoughts and advice is welcome.


Bonus Question
-Do you guys recommend ls7 lifters for a boosted application, or are ls6 just fine? I already have new ls6 lifters ready to go.

Thanks guys!

It wouldnt be 3rd time lucky, if someone else is happy to use that cam, let them.

Pick something more akin to what you had

Thanks. Anyone else? Is this a stupid cam for a boosted ls6 application, or would it be good like I'm being led to believe?

I would not use that cam for your application. An LS6 cam would work much better. Bob

I got burned by a vender on here that claimed an N/A type camshaft would work good in my motor. It certainly wasn't and when I called him back to discuss it later, he admitted that he really didn't know what he was doing when he speced my cam.

I would go with the LS6 cam since you already have one. They've been used many times before in boosted applications with good results.

Awesome! Thank you guys for the input!

236/232 on a 114 would be better

This is our stage 2 turbo cam for LS1/LS6 http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-...1-ls6-engines/

This is what i would use in your setup. As far as lifterts i would recommend Morel 5315 lifters http://www.tickperformance.com/morel...l-lsx-engines/
