Cam selection with mods
Hi Guys:
I would like your opinion and advice in a cam selection for my 04 automatic corvette. These are the upgrades.
vararam ramair CAI with power duct coupler
ls6 intake with ported & polished throttle body
243 heads(heads and intake are UNPORTED OEM)
25%underdrive pulley
slp equal length headers with CATLESS dual 2.5 x- pipes and borla catback
3000 stall speed converter
3.73 differential
Im looking for mid range and top end power the vette is for cruising and street and strip. I was looking @ tsp tv2(232-234 578-598),Lunati cam 20540714(227-233 584-584) and a comps cam (230-234 592-598) all at 114 LSa. Which one will you recommend or other cam in mind. I do not want problems with vacuum or brakes I do not mind a 1000rpm idle also I need to use air conditioning when cruising. Any suggestions or advice?

With a 3k stall I'd go with the smallest of the three, but they all have fairly aggressive cam lobes. I recommend a cam with less aggressive lobes that has the potential to be more stable at high rpm levels while also being relatively easy on the rest of the valve train. Maybe a Comp Cams 54-428-11(228/230 112lsa+2, lift .571"/.573"), a Cam Motion LS2 Stage 3 (228/232 114lsa+4), or Cam Motion Titan IV (227/232 113lsa+4).
From all of those choices, Cam Motion Titan IV (227/232 113lsa+4) wins. Especially if you decide to port and mill the heads later. It'll like compression.
I'd also replace the stall with a 3600. It won't drive much different but will perform much better.

Excellent advice.I will go with 227-233 from lunati.I forgot to mention that I will a cam kit with double springs and titanium retainers, I talk to the guys a TSP and they suggested the TV2(232-234) I think this cam will have a rougher idle than 227-233, I also got advice from a friend who suggested a comp cam 224-230. what do you think guys.
