ok how about this..What is the biggest cam that you would go with on stock heads, intake, valvetrain. car has longtubes to xpipe and slp cold air induction and the car is dyotuned. but im sure once i do the cam it will need to be re tuned. and its my daily driver. give me some ideas. iv heard 233/239 but i thought that might be a little big. give me ideas!!!!

 

If you are looking for an aggressive street cam I would recommend looking into our torquer v.3 camshaft. It has a little less duration then the 233/239 but it has some aggressive lobes so it should keep a broad powerband. We also like to sell it on a 111 LSA so it will have an early powerband and an aggressive idle.

 

and that would be ok on the stock heads and stuff?

 

You'll need to change springs and timing chain + of course tuning.

 

Yes with the correct valvepsrings and pushrods you will be good to go. The cam fits without flycutting no problem.

 

im personally a huge 233/239 fan. put it in a buddies car on a 114lsa and made 403 hp peak and great power under the curve. just my opinion however

 

that was all you did was the cam? no heads or nothing right?

 

yeah stock heads with prc dual springs on them

 

whats the rpm range for that toquer v3? and whats the scoop on on the 98 heads? i heard 98 heads are the worse heads out of the ls1 years

 

Excuse me for hi-jacking your post , I want your advise on the parts needed to set up LS6 engine with MS3 CAM. I am CnCing the Heads, I have ordered at present:
1. MS3 CAM
2. CST V LIFTERS
3. 921 COMP SPRINGS
I need to know about timing chain, push rods, and oil pump, anything else that I am missing. thx

 

I use LS2 full gears and chain, pushrods will have to be measured but thicker than .080 walls is recommended as well.(reduced flexing), but standard hardened ones will work fine.

 

thank you Predator Z, really appreciate the info. spordee1

 

The RPM range on the torquer v.3 is 2000-6400rpm. The 98 heads tend to flow the worst out of the all the stock casting heads. Its not a huge difference but is evident when flowed on a bench next to the others.

 

Someone suggested a Rocker-arm change is sometimes necessary with a large Cam change. I am going from a stock LS6 .550 lift to a MS3 .605 lift. Is that considered a mild change without a need for new Rocker-arms. thx
