I have 02 SS M6, with full exhaust and a lid, i daily drive the car, so i dont want anything crazy, but i would like to hear a nice lope, but something i can drive with, also do i have to change anything else with the cam? like springs or pushrods, or do they make a cam that u dont have to change anything?

 

anyone?

 

i'm gonna go with a reverse split cam, check out the TR230/224 cam it makes good power, pulls hard from what i see on every post and has good drivability. you'll have to change springs and pushrods with any of the aftermarket cams

 

Best bet is to either talk the vendors-sponsors who specs cam for your own needs or read the threads here and do your homework.

 

thanks guys, im gonna check that cam out, also how much does it cost for the labor for the cam and springs and pushrods to be put in? anything else i would need?

 

To tell you the truth, you can put this cam by yourself if you have the space and time to do it.

I have no, I mean no experience of putting a motor together much less putting a cam in any car but I did it. Granted I took my time and studied up on it before tackling this project. All in the end I got it done and the car is running good.

 

no kidding, so im guessing theres not much labor cost to it? wut about the springs?

 

The labor wont be cheap if your not doing it yourself. Its not how 'hard' the job is, its mostly the time b/c swapping the springs its very time consuming.

Since its a DD, I would recommend something like a 224 duration cam and a 228 at the max.

Your going to need to swap springs and pushrods with any camshaft swap. Since you have a stick, better start saving up for an aftermarket clutch as well.

 

Upgrade your valve springs for any cam swap, at the minimum Comp 918s or PAC brand for a small cam, bigger cam go with dual valve spring set up.

 

yea i wanna hear a nice lope to it, how much labor wise do u think it would cost?

 

consider a TSP cam pkg,224r/228r at 112*lsa.or a tr224 at 112*lsa.I've heard $700-900 for install labor.go to ls1howto.com and see if you and a friend mite do the install.you will need a tune up for the new cam.

 

cool thats for everyhing springs on heads and cam and lifters pushrods?

 

do u have to up ur injector size at all with any of these cams?

 

you have #28 injectors you will be ok with them.

 

Give me a call, I'll get you setup.

 

ok sounds good i will
