Default What CAM should i get?

Im in market for a MS3 cam and prc duals. I found the build sheet from when the motor was built it 3/9/06 so im currently running a comp cam #54-424-11 and from what ive been reading they say its a street ls6 cam. The valves are the beehive comp cam #26915-16 .600'' max lift. It also has a comp cam adjustable high tech timing chain #3153KT and a Melling high volume oil pump.

Is the cam i have now good enough?

Ditch that cam and go MS3 for sure. You won't regret it!

The springs your running might not support the MS3 camshaft. I dont remember what the 915 spring is rated for, but I I'm thinking they had less pressures across the board. I think you'll like the MS3 or maybe a Torquer v3 if your looking for a little bit less duration & power to come in earlier...

Make sure you have a good spring kit if you upgrade camshafts!!
