Default Another cam suggestion thread

I'm looking for advice for ugrading my cam. I am putting a lq4 into a 240sx. I want to put a cam in first because it appears the motor would have to be pulled to install one later. The goal for the car is a road race application that I can drive on the street. When it first gets running it will have:

T56
Lq4
3:90 gears
Long tubes
Ls1 intake
Hptuners
Twin disk

I don't think I missed anything. So what cam would you recommend for a turning car? Later down the road I will be looking to make near 500rwhp.

When I'm looking for 500rwhp, I'm most likely going turbo. I'm not opposed to changing the cam again at that point, it would just be nice if I didn't have to. Right now, I just need something to add some more power while staying stredtable.

You're right, I didn't even see the "external part." I just saw geniii and clicked on it.

Take a look at the Tick Performance SNS stage 2 with the milder lobes.

I would look into getting a custom cam, that is tailored to your setup/goals. Geoff @ EPS spec'd my cam.

Yeah, I'm planning on getting a fast intake in the future and didn't want to spend money on a ls6 and then the fast.
