I have never heard of the ls1 grand am cup cam. Thats not the ASA cam but it looks pretty beefy. I wonder how streetable that is. I bet it makes huge power.

I don't think that would be that enjoyable to drive on the street. Too low of an LSA among other things.

Does the ASA cam need ported heads or higher compression ratio to fully utilize it's potential?

I see GMPP lists 2 CNC ported LS6 heads along with the GM Hot Cam and Showroom stock cam.

Does anyone have experience with any combination of these in road coarse application?
The ASA cam was developed for the ASA Delco Stock car series. They were basically stock type long blocks (stock comp., unported heads, stock throtte body and intake, better rod bolts, stepped headers and tuned ecu.) final assembly was done by lingenfelter.

They made about 400 to the wheels. The cam was designed for oval track but is equally at home on the road courses. Good torque curve and decent power up to 6500 or so.

Some of the Crane Cams V8 StockCar racers are still running on Lingenfelter motors that were built before 2004. Ricky Sanders just finished 3rd at Sebring with an original ASA motor and it had some smoke.

GAC cam has a ridiculous idle, and its a bitch to tune. It was developed for grand am cup racing and is a high rpm performer. You would need some decent gears to drive it on the street or you would have a dog on the low side.
