what do i have to talk to the tuner about?

everything, tuners are ultimately the ones that know the most, they have to deal with setting everything to work with what you have so if you talk to your tuner he can advise what works well together and he can make work best.

LS1's are not necessarilly different when it comes to your question, the stall you want will be based on how you drive, more street or more race, the cam the same also. So you need to decide if you want drivability or all out **** and get.

Dont take that comment the wrong way, the MS3 is a great cam, but when you get a cam you need to know what you're getting, and a MS3 is big, if you want to sacrifice some drivability you can do that but you would need a big stall too. What do you want the car to do?????

thats sounding a little better, but that is MY opinion, YOU may like a wild street car but most would probably tell you it gets old, does for me, im going for smooth streetable and powerful, definately will give up high hp numbers but will be more enjoyable considering it is a DD.

Maybe a 230ish cam with some .610-.630 lift would be torquey enough to have fun driving everyday. But you certainly can't go wrong with a good ole 224 either.

? I only have been looking at Thunder Racing and Texas Speed myself you would have to post up specs.

call who you want to order a cam from and discuss your goals with them, I did that with thunder and had great results, and hung up with a better feeling about choosing a cam.

I had a F13 from Futral with a 3K stall in my old 02 Z28 and DD it everyday.

It was perfect for a DD car, IMO
