Heads and Cam advice Looking for advice on a heads and cam build I am starting. My car is a 2000 Camaro with 80k miles. The car had a Procharger on it but it’s off now. I am planning on just doing a heads and cam build. Parts I have on the car are LS6 intake with Deka 60lb injectors. FTP 104 air intake and off-road headers, cat-less y-pipe and flow-master mufflers. Car has an aftermarket fuel pump and aftermarket clutch. I was planning on sending my 241 heads to AI and have them match a cam for it. I want something bigger than a 228 but not as big as a MS3. My car is not a DD but I only drive it on nice days. Any advice is welcomed.
Look into a Torquer 2 cam if you want something in between the two cams that you mentioned. I had that cam on my previous setup with my PRC 5.3 heads and it was a good match

Go bigger on the cam than you think.....with good tuning now days you can make big cams drive close to stock. I personally wouldn't spend the cash on premium heads....plenty of guys making great power on worked LS6 heads and its a 1,000 difference.

Thanks that's great advice. Budget I don't want to spend that much money on AFR. I think I'll find some 243 in good shape and maybe have them cleaned up. I sold my kit to fund a turbo build on a roller I picked up. What heads and cam would it take to beat a TA using 227 PRC heads and a MS3.
