Default cam and my set up

.229/236 .624"/615" on a 111 lsa is the cam i'm looking at now. i was lookin at somethin close to a 233/239 but goin a little smaller would be beneficial i think. my heads are absolute speed stage II's and i'll list the flow numbers for them. how do yall think this cam will handle nitrous and also is that amount of lift ok? this is a daily driven s/s car.

200-151-115
300-207-163
400-259-206
450-276-212
500-288-221
550-298-225
600-307-228

IMO if you go any bigger than a .575 .580ish your gonna lose low end torque imo it would be best to find a medium my upgrades and numbers are with a stock ls1 intake and t/b.I havent had a chance to get back to the dyno yet to see the new numbers.I think that would be a very good cam for the bottle but not a good daily driver because of the lift and lsa you will probably experience a little more rock at low rpm,although thats just my opinion.Good luck

well a rough idle is fine with me as i'm m6 so there's no problems there. but i've seen a ton of people dd'ing cams with higher lift that that. but...i have 4.10 gears goin in with my nine inch so i'll be gettin to a higher power band faster. i'm just not sure about the lift..

Thats true and like I meant to say I wasnt trying to state a fact or anything I was just giving you an example persay.I have a friend with the same opened up heads on a ls2 gto with a .605 .609 111 lsa and he gets quite a bit of rock.Puts down 434 and 395tq motor but on the gas gained 98hp and 149tq off 100 wet.Although he has more power than me motor to motor I always get him because of weight diff in cars and the loss of low end torque he suffers.I was just throwing an option your way.

Lift has very little to do with driveability dude, the duration/LSA is what makes the car "less streetable" and shake at idle. The LS7 camshaft STOCK has almost .600 and idles perfectly smooth, for example.

As long as you put a set of kickass valve springs on it, I say it would be fine.

With that much lift, milling the heads for a compression increase IS NOT in your future, lol.

It will be fine on N20.

Try the Torquer V2 cam from TSP. Its a 232/234 595/598 cam 112 lsa. It be perfect for what your looking for and for those heads.

no 1 said a big lift had anything to do with it although a ported head with a 620ish lift and a 111 lsa does.This combo will lose tq in mid to lower rpms and has been know to do it alot.Mine is also a d/d with no rock even tho its on a 110 lsa the smaller lift makes up for it and it pulls like a b**ch all through the rpm range.the torquer 2 as mention has proved its selfworth with a 112 lsa.its not all about how big of a lift you can possibly get its aboutmatching ur lsa and ur lift with ur c/r and ur heads.

When you call TSP to order the TV2 talk to Jon R. and see what he recommends. They just tested a bunch of new cams not long ago.
