I have been researching torquer cams for my stock low mile lq4. I will be running the stock lq4 intake and T56 six speed in my 52 AD rat rod. I am looking for big block torque if possible. I like the feel of a strong pulling engine when pulling through the gears. I will not be racing just looking for a hard pulling cruiser. Some will say stay with the stock cam but I like the sound of some of the thumper cams and I like the old hot rod sound of the cams. I would like both torque power and choppy sound if that is possible. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

 

comp 54-455-11,truck torque cam.I hope you got sticky tires.

 

LPE GT11 pulls strong in a 6.0. sounds good thru open exhaust.

 

Thanks for the replies. I will be running 295/60's in the rear. I have shorty headers and will most likely run a bullet style muffler. I'm not sure on the exhaust yet.

 

LQ4 is only 9.4:1, so choose a cam with a fairly early intake closing. This does limit your top end, but helps build some much needed dynamic compression.
Better yet, get the heads milled 0.030", and be at 9.9:1.

 

With that being said, I'm now looking at 110 LSA cams. Top end is not an issue with this build. Just a cruiser looking for a lot of low in grunt with a choppy idle. I'm not going to remove the heads at this time.

 

I don't believe you're going to find any shelf cams, you'll probably need something custom.
In your situation, the only shelf cam I'd consider is the Speed Inc. TBSS cam.
214/220-111.5 558/563. This will work with the affordable LS6 springs, and have a noticeable idle, especially with headers.
Part of why I'd go this way is I believe they could provide me a baseline tune to go along with their cam.

 

We actually have our cam kits(cam, PRC dual springs, pushrods, timing cover and water pump gaskets, new crank bolt and seal) on sale for $775 shipped, this includes custom grinds which I think would suit you better. Give us a call and we can discuss things. Thanks, Chris

 

Check out the ASA cam if your looking for a strong low-mid range cam.
Im very happy with it and it sounds nice also.
