Default Need help choosing a cam...

I did my research but wanted to get your opinions on which cam to run in a stock LS2.

The car is used at the track only so nothing really matters to me other then power gains and I don't want the car stalling.

Final drive is 3.90 and will be running 100. Thanks for your input!

This needs to be in the Gen IV section, not Gen III

As much torque as possible, mid-low end power. The cam cost isn't really a factor.

I'm confused - if it's for track only, why mid-low end power? Are you launching at idle? short shifting for fun?

If its a track only car and you aren't looking for super good street manners, go BIG. Proven to make more power. You'll have to shift high, but it will make the power.
