cam recommendation..

Which cam would you recommend for a daily driven 01 6spd SS? I want to stay with the 3:42s (love going 80 and rpms under 2k) I have full exhaust, lid, and soon a pulley.

Looking for a lopey cam, but wich one would work best with my combo?
Thanks in advanve

So you want to lope at 80mph? Kidding aside, I would get with PatrickG and have him spec a cam for your combo.

Thanks for the input guys.

Just saw some videos of the 228r & V2 cam and Im sold with either cam. Will the car run fine have the 3:42s out back? Also what springs, and push rods should I want to get? Sorry for the questions, as for I am somewhat new to internal ls1s.

Guys running either cam, whats your personal opinion on it?

I ran the Torquer 2 with stock 3.42s. I loved it until I ran a Pat G custom grind, now I'm totally sold on the custom cam notion. Custom cam had power through the whole band and more under the curve compared to the Torquer2. Springs, oil pump, timing chain, and pushrods should all be upgraded when doing a cam swap.
