Don't know which cam to look for.
I have a 02 SS M6 and I've been craving a cam. The problem is, I just don't know which one would be best for me.
I haven't been doing much research, but I've seen two videos of cams I like on YouTube. One was the Futral F14 cam, and the other was the Magic Stick 3.
My car isn't my daily driver, but I do drive it around on the weekends. I want it to be drivable, but I want a good lope. I also want a decent horsepower gain. You can see what I have already done to my car, and please tell me what you think.
Opinions please!!! (Even if you think I should get a different cam)
Thanks everybody,
Wheel

With my old LS1 I ran the G5x3 from LG Motorsports. I think I paid around $450 or $500 for it. It is just sitting in my dad's attic and has been in a box there since August 2007. Let me know if you want it. I can let it go for $300. Let me know if you want pics.
There are some good sound clips on YouTube for this cam. I made great power with it. Mid range and top end are a blast and it is very driveable.

If you are looking for a good driving cam that has a heavy idle to it I would recommend our torquer v.3 camshaft. It is not a large cam so it has a broad powerband, and we only sell it on a 111 LSA so it has a nice lope to it. Right now we have the cam pushrods and valvesprings for $689.99.

I sold my old 230/234 cam for $250 and it looked great.
Minimum you will need a set of springs and hardened pushrods...
Edit: John beat me to the springs PR part. OP... please don't buy a cam because of how it sounds..... search around and buy it because it match's your mods, intended use, drivability and power goals....
