Default Cam suggestions for DD/3600 stall

I've always wanted a cam only car and I'm finally at the point where I can install one. I had my eye on the tsp 233/239 and planned on installing it along with a FAST intake but I'm starting to think that it might be a bit too big for my stall. I've come to the conclusion that I can have a solid set up with a smaller cam and the LS6 intake that's already on the car. I'm all about efficiency being that my car is stalled and the dyno numbers won't look too pretty. Would a torquer v3 with my LS6 be a better bet? I drive my car everyday and any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

The tv3 is a good cam but it has a very aggressive intake lobe and will be hard on springs so i wouldnt recommend it for a daily. I would suggest something like the tv2. It will make almost the same power but the intake in ground on a much easier lobe. In this situation maybe get with Geoff or Martin and have a cam spec'd by them

Futral motorsports F13. Awesome cam with great street manners and performs at the track as well. I've had mine for about 7 yrs and it still performs great.

The 228/232 cam is pretty damn nice for a daily. Several different vendors could hook you up, but customer service with Martin at Tick Performance is second to none.

I agree! Martin is the go to man for a cam.

I run Ed Curtis' streetsweeper ht which is a 228/232 in my car with a 3600 stall and 3.73s, and it can easily be daily driven. Its not too big where its a headache to drive or not too small where you wish you went bigger. He is a great guy to deal with and I highly recommend you talk to him.

That Streetsweeper HT is a pretty bad *** little cam. I know Spartan Motorsports has their own 228/232 cam that has made great power and runs it's *** off at the track. OP, you can't go wrong with Martin or Ed Curtis. I've dealt with both and they are both at the top off the LS world.

I forgot about this cam I've read on happy customers. This is definitely a cam I'm going to look into

That streetsweeper cam looks like a good sized cam. I'll get in contact with the names above for sure. Hopefully I make a good decision when I pull the trigger
