Torquer V2 from Texas Speed. I've always had a sweet spot for that cam. Not exactly radical, but it's choppy.

well you have the cubes to make it...My car made 367/363 on an LS1 with that cam, U/D pulley, 3800 stall unlocked, and full bolt ons.

Do the springs and everything come with it? And are new heads recommended?

GM LS1 HOT CAM! Easy on parts, choppy idle, proven combination...you can't go wrong with The General. Not to say the cams listed above will not work for what you are looking for, as they will work great, but the HOT CAM is a no-brainer, (in my opinion) when it comes to valve train stability, useable/streetable power range, etc. GM has done all the work for you...good luck with your choice.

PS-do a Youtube search on the LS HOT CAM and you can hear proof...

228-232 .612/.612 111lsa

I have this on a 113lsa and it's pretty choppy. Put it on a 111 or 112 and it would be even more choppy.

Our V4 cam makes great average power in a 6.0L We just installed one in an auto GTO and picked up 73hp and 65ftlbs at the wheels.
