Default Cam Suggestions....

Alright everyone, I have gone from a going back to stock build to putting together a nice to drive mild build street car..

347 with Mahle 3.905 forged pistons and LS6 Heads.

I am looking for suggestions for a cam that would compliment the ls6 heads and give me a nice street car that I could jump in and drive everyday. I was thinking something a little bigger than a LS6 cam.

Maybe a classic TR 224 cam 224/224, .563/.563 112, 114 LSA or bigger, a TSP 228R, 228/228, .588/.588, 112, 114 LSA

Those two are best streeatable cams + a good tune. Upgrade your clutch if still on stock to maybe a Monster level 2 and if you have the LS1 intake definitely upgrade to LS6 and Long tube headers if you don't have none, and you'll be happy!!!

those are some good cams that should make 400+hp.also consider a EPS 222/226 cam,it should make a little more power then the other 2 mentioned.
