I'm trying to stay as low buck as possible with my project, hence running a $100 cam. Will ported heads make the car sound crazy? I'm going for stealth as well. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

heads will change the tone slightly more than likely but with that cam i wouldnt worry about it too much...cam & cats are the two biggest sound altering mods.

LOL, I'm looking for silent, but violent

cheap & not a peep too it seems

I have an 02 LS6 cam and I went with a set of Stage I heads from West Coast Cylinder Heads. I had them milled .030 for some more compression and I think they got @270 cfm on the intake @ .550 lift. I haven't had them installed but the heads look great and I got a great price, call and ask for Richard, they are a sponsor here so you can find their number -------->

Wouldn't a better cam be a much better investment than a small cam on nice heads?

we can set you up with a nice set of stage 1 heads for right at $1245.00 during our May sale. give us a call.

We have a stage 2 head,stainless valves,dual springs,titanium retainers,all for $1295.00. Why go stage 1 when you can have stage 2.

We should instate the ability to utilize a response of simply "+1" to that.

Or Stage 1 heads are a perfect match to that cam and we can sell them to you for $999.99

Thanks Nate

Not to me. Nice heads and a smaller cam will have better driveability, more sleath quality, better emissions compliance, and make more hp/tq through out the power band than a large cam-only setup. People get so hung up on peak numbers with big cam-only setups they forget about a lot of things like that.

I really like this cam. Do you have an drivablity issues and or get it tuned. One reason I like it is no tuning and stock drivablity.

Just another idea would be to buy the same heads you are already looking into and buy a cam that is very similar to the 224 from Thunder racing. Have them grind it on a 117LSA and there is you quite stock cam sound but more powerful then the Z06 cam.
If you put LT headers on and do a cutout behind your stock y pipe your car will be quite as hell and when you want the power just open the cutout up.
Of course that would change the sound, but who cares everyone will still think your stock. (Unless they have a brain)

Paging Colonel... we have a non-believer in isle 5...

Or he could just get the Stealth II cam?

I don't know the specs off the top of my head, but its 224/220 .581 .581 on an LSA of 116-117.

And it will make WAY more power than a Z06 cam.

You have nothing else to add to your arguement so you have to have the Colonel come in and argue for you? I'd argue with you even further but I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to insinuate since Colonel himself runs a nice set of heads and a small cam



He doesn't want another cam, read his first post that he paid $100 for the cam so he's looking for heads that will compliment them. And I also dispute the fact that the Stealth II will make WAY more power than an 02 LS6, I've seen several cars pick up maybe 5rwhp with tuning from Stealth Cam's vs an LS6 cam. If the stealth cam's cost the same as an LS6 cam, I'd go for them. It may be just me, but when I see Stealth Cam's being the same price as a TRex cam I can't help to think that the stealth cams are definitely not the most bang for your buck, unlike the LS6 cam.

So if u want silent but violent Hide the BOTTLE 2 stages 75 and 150 more violent then u will want i install my 2 stage hidden systems all the time sounds and looks stock but rides the the

for the price, you cant beat patriot performance heads

The only thing I care to say in this thread is that a Stealth II will stomp an LS6 cam up and down the dragstrip in a NA application. To say otherwise goes not only in the face of logic but also against the reality of what has been proven at the track. It is simply much bigger, MUCH more aggressive (lobes), has an appreciably higher lift, and a narrower LSA (116 compared to 117.5 for the newer LS6 cam.) To suggest that there is only 5 RWHP difference in these two cams is just false.

Has anyone seen any LS6 cams running low 11s NA in 3500+ lb F-bodys lately? Seen any do it with stock gears? Seen any even come close?

Lots of good info here. Colonel, does your car idle well? Did it need lots of tuning? I would really like to duplicate that combo if it isn't all kinds of nasty sounding. I've already got the hidden kit base covered like a jimmy hat. 150 dry whenever necessary!

I posted a sound clip not long back. Sounds pretty--->
