What cam? I'm running this 6.0L in my 87 IROC and want opinions on the cam choice. It has a turbo cam right now (SpeedInc TU2) but maybe I could use a more NA friendly cam to get me a bit more power? Here's a part list.
2000 LQ4 (0.030 over)
Stock crank (machined .010/.010)
Chevlite H series Cam,Rod and Main Bearings
Compstar 6.125 H-Beams
Wiesco -11CC Pistons (rings gapped for boost)
Comp 236/236 .581/.581 112.5 (TU2)
LS6 intake
Nasty fuel rails w/42lbs injectors
GM LS7 Lifters
Trickflow Hardened pushrods
Melling High Pressure Pump
JP Performance Double Roller Timing Chain
ARP MAIN STUDS
LS9 Head gaskets
Patriot Stage 2 5.3 heads - ported/polish (milled to 58cc)
Patriot .650 Lift Springs
Stock Rockers
98+ F-body Oil pan (with -10an drain, windage and pickup tube)
TR6 plugs
2000 Truck Coils
Should be around 10.5:1 compression. MS4 be a good choice? I'm unsure about a custom grind right now, don't really know what that entails. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Sorry, forgot to mention that. Car has a T56 and 3.90 gears. It's mostly a toy so having something that likes high rpm is fine, as long as driveability doesn't become an issue.

I was looking at the TS cams and I saw a few that I liked, but that ESP cam just literally jumped off the page at me. I love it. Anybody have any dyno sheets or engine break-downs they can share? Maybe show me what I'd be getting if I was to throw a cam in my engine...
You might also take a look at the PRC heads. Whether it is a stock ported casting or an aftermarket casting PRC has consistantly been able to perform with the competition. Feel free to give us a call or PM one of us for some more information!
