so for a car that sees just as much track as street, is which cam will ensure better engine life yet good power.? mods are in the sig and these are what i was gonna get:

TFS 215 CNC Gen X heads with .675 spring upgrade
Comp Cams 231/239 .617/.624 113LSA or TSP Torquer V2 232/234 .598/.598 112LSA
LS2 Timing Chain
LS7 Lifters
Ported LS6 Oil Pump

stuff in bold is what i will be getting this winter and the non bold is what i am still deciding on. i have read the LSA lobes are nicer on the valvetrain and will out perform the Torquer V2 cam w/XE-R lobes. any opinion on either of these cams? i have heard great things about the TSP Torquer V2, but don't want to be disappointed with old technology.

how will you pass emissions?I feel the comp lsr cam with the lsl lobes will make more power.consider a head/cam kit from vengeance racing,or get a custom cam from Pat-G.

emissions will not be a problem as i am getting smog this year and registering it in Florida next year. i am Military so we can drive around with what ever state license plates we want, also my wife is registered in Florida.

Mayhem II cam. It put out 436rwhp on my friends ls1 with stock heads/stock ls6 intake and tb. It drives close to stock with a good tune. A mid 230's intake/low 240's exhaust. Mine drives fine with it.

Whose cam is that and what lobes? I can't imagine that it made that awesome of a tq curve. What casting were the "stock heads"?

If it were me I would get the LSR cam between those two. Easy on the valvetrain and still make good power.

Actually I called Geoff at EPS and had him spec one on his EPS lobes. Similiar to the LSL lobes but a little softer.. The exhaust lobe he speced was actually a Comp marine lobe. Hopefully can report back with #'s next week.

lookin forward to those numbers bud, i am still on the wall about this cam. i am also deciding to get heads or not. cause i have plans in the future to build a 402 (like 2-3 years in the future) and i want to use TFS 235cc heads on it. so i dont want to spend 2500 bucks on heads for my LS1, but would like to obtain at lease 410-420 to the wheels with a streetable cam like the LSR one. i am willing to pick up some 243's and slap them on there, but if i dont have to then i wont. my question is, can the stock lifters hold up to that kind of abuse? if not then might as well get different heads anyway, my stock ones are 853 casting (i believe)
