Need help with cam selection
I'm sure this question has been asked a millions times and I've searched but I want to get a few suggestions on what cam to get.
My combo:
LS1
11.0:1
PRC CNC ported 243's
LS6 intake
Ported stock TB
85mm maf
fast toys 98 mm lid
1 3/4" headers
3.73 gear
3200 278mm Circle D
PAC 1519's
I plan on driving this daily in the summer time. I want a cam the doesn't beat the valve train and is streetable. I was thinking the GT2-3, the standard 224/230 .581/.592 114 cam or maybe the Lunati 219/223 .625/.625 112. Is 400 wheel out of the question with these cams or not?

No, but looking at your combo, it seems like it would be a nice fit, and should make good power along with be very streetable with having only -1* overlap.
As far as it make 400rwhp, it's possible. IMO, if you don't meet you goal you could always later add a FAST 92 intake with a 92mm TB, change out the Flowmaster cross-flow 80 series muffler with either a high flowing Dynomax Ultra-Flo or Magnaflow muffler, and add a UD crank pulley to get there.

EPS has a 222/226 .597"/.598" 113+4 using EPS lobes (which are endurance type). It has made 430rwhp with stock unported LS6 heads.

I'd do that cam.

thanks for the responses guys. That EPS stuff looks like the way to go, however, I see those posts are from a few years ago. Do they have better stuff than that now? If I get over 400 wheel with a stockish idle I'll be happier than ****.

Then pick up the phone and call Geoff @ EPS. He's my tuner, and a great guy to deal with. Very easy to talk to, and will get you what you need. You won't be disappointed.

Will do. I have a set of PAC 1519's, I'm assuming they will be good for the 222/226 cam? Also, my heads are milled .030, with stock head gaskets which means I will be able to use stock length pushrods. I have 3 different sets of stock ones, can I use them or is that a huge mistake?

I guess I meant better cams with better technology. I think I just need to talk to Geoff and see which one he recommends for my setup, I'm leaning towards the 222/226, just not sure if I should go up one step or not.
