Need opinions on a cam I've been craving a cam. I just don't know what kind I should get. I'm new at internal engine work, so I could use some help.
I have a FAST LS6 intake with a 90mm throttle body, an underdrive pulley, and Texas Speed long tube headers. I want a decent lope, but I want it to be drivable. I would love a decent horsepower gain, but drivability is a priority.
Any opinions?
Thanks,
Wheel

you may want to look at the comp xr281hr (228/230) makes great midrange power. i've got a A4 with 3600 stall, stock ls6 intake, long tubes, ported stock tb, hooker cat back and this cam. the car made 391rwhp/370rwtq on a dynojet.

390 rwhp sounds pretty good. I'm sittin at 335rwhp right now.
Why wouldn't you go smaller? I don't want to, just wondering why you say that haha
i wouldnt go smaller than a 228 size cam. but i would not be afraid just to go up a tad bit more

The 228 cam is a good all around size. you will see alot of people running a 228 cam in there DD car with very good street manners. I have never rode in a cammed car ever. My cam is an old grind, MTI X1 230/227 and i honestly could go a little more bigger. Bigger isnt always better, but my car drives so civil it really does feel like stock.

I have been looking through Futral's cams. I just really don't know what to look for.
