Default stock LQ9

I have a stock 2004 LQ9 Out of a escalade with 3400 miles on it.
I am going to put it in my mustang with a t56.also i have a complete ls6 intake. The rear end in the car is a 4.10
My question is what would be a good cam to run. i was looking at the ms3 cam but i don't know. car is not a daily driver, already have all the Aje stuff to put the motor in the car. still need to get headers and a harness and a f-body oil pan kit.(if some one has one they wanna sell)

any input would be great Thanks

"SEARCH" or Google could have answered that.

Good tune and exhaust on an lq9 puts you around 380hp give or take a few ponies for lq9 vs lq4.

I would say with a car that light and 4.10 gears, a cam with a duration of 232/236 on a 111 LSA (ballpark) would work well.

Any of the sponsers that stock/sell a lot of cams should be able to tell you how much cam you can run with the stock flat top pistons in that LQ9 before flycutting is needed.
