Cam and gears 01 firebird formula long tubes,ory,lid,85 maf,tubular panhard bar and control arms with lcr brackets all umi parts on suspension,just put a 4k stall in last Monday love it.
What's a good cam fo my setup and gears to match the car. It is a daily driver but willin to sacrifice some driveability

well im going a little aggressive on my set up. i would need some more info. daily driver
? weekend warrior?
my current set up is a ls6 intake with headers, x pipe, torque arm, subframe connectors, 4k stall, 4l65e, 3.73 gears and a custom reverse split cam.
this was a great daily driver, and beat alot of big cam cars.
230/228 .603/.589 110lsa.
1.4 60ft 11.6@116mph in bad da. this cam had great torque down low but not crap peak numbers.
im changing out the cam with the eps cam. its a 234/246 cam. alot bigger but switching to 243 heads and looking for a low 11 sec pass on the motor

If you already have a large stall (3200+) then you won't see much of a gain in ET with 3.73+ gears...only a tenth or maybe two, at the most. If you don't mind losing the MPG's for that minor increase then go for it.

So what kind of et would I drop with a good cam setup with supporting mods...the motor had 152k but runs great if I do all new valvetrain parts with oil pump new timing chain and new rod bolts arp-katech
