I have a 1998 trans am, i also have a 2001 LQ4 that i am building and i just have a few questions about a good cam to put in it. i have stock heads that im going to have P&P'd, im looking for good power through the quarter mile perferably from 3200 to 7000 RPM. its also going to be a daily driver so i dont want it to be such a violent cam that it dies after starting it but i do plan on putting about a 2800 stall in it...id love it to have a choppy loud idle. i have a stock 4L60E transmission... Would you recommend buying an LS9 intake if im going with a cam? i am also willing to buy springs, lifters, rocker arms, ECT... to make the best cam work. What would you reccomend for the best cam for my applications i want to use it for? How big can i go until it starts to die at idle? (i will have it tuned).... Thanks in advance guys!!!!
I may not have asked all the questions i needed to or not given enough information so let me know and ill fill you in on the stuff i didnt think about!

 

a ls9 intake will not fit... i think you meant ls6

 

No offense but you have a bunch of contradictions here lol. You don't want a violent cam, but you want a choppy loud idle...but you want it to be good to 7k...but it's a daily driver with a 2800 stall...see my point lol.

 

Thats a small stall You will need a small cam for that combo.

Lots of contradictions as HCI mentioned.

 

(i did mean LS6 sorry)let me rephrase that then.....whats the best cam for a daily driver that will also give me good performance at the track and will also sound good? sorry guys not the most experienced, thats just what i was looking for

 

First let me ask, do you know how much compression this new setup will make? If you are building it for n/a purposes the more the better basically.

 

Are you asking what kind of compression i plan on making

 

Yes I am
