Looking at these two cams for my car. Bolt on stock 99 ls1 right now. I will keep the stock heads for a while also. I run the 1/8th mile almost every weekend during racing season so I plan on being at the track quite a bit with the car. I am looking at the Torquer v2 from TSP (staying away from the v3 because of the lift) and also the StreetSweeper HT cam. I want to keep it somewhat driveable because I do drive it to work sometimes but I want good track times also. I am also still on a 10 bolt stock 3.42's. I also considered the 228r but I'm afraid that wouldn't be enough cam for me. Cars with the exact same set up only difference would be one has the SSHT and one has the V2 which should run better at the track?

 

Guy at work put a SSHT cam in his 2004 GTO 6 speed and Dynoed 403 HP tuned at New Era. Loves the cam and it has a nice lope

 

Nice, yeah I like the sound to it. I just don't want to get it then think I went to small. But I don't want to have to rev to the moon to make power either.

 

I had a SSHT for 7 years and it was a great cam. I made about 400 RWHP with headers and the torque was great from about 2,400 up to 6,400 RPM. I did not race a lot and never got a great 60' but it would trap close to 114 MPH at 1,000' DA with 3.91 gears in my M6 LS1 GTO

 

Nicely done. What tires was that on? I really want to hit 7s and that picture helps lol right now my best is 8.3 exhaust, headers, lid only

 

I was affraid of it being too small too, so I bought the Tick Stage 2 cam 231/ 238....sounds nasty, havent had it tuned yet

 

Good choice man I know tick makes some mean cams, nothing really in the range I want though from what I see.

 

Of course I know custom is a better option but right now I am just looking at off the shelf cams

 

I would go with the street sweeper HT then

 

see sig, 3500 race weight, nitrous converter on 275/60/15. Runs 7.2-7.3 consistently. Drive it everyday.

 

So I am guessing you recommend the TV2?

 

I'd suggest a cam with the same specs as the Tick SNS torqueMAX Stage 2 Cam for LS2 Engines (except for a LS1). It has LSL lobes that are milder than what's used in either the TV2(xe-r) or TV3(lsk) cam and the specs are very similar at 231/235 111lsa+2. Furthermore they're also available with even milder LXL lobes(230/234 111lsa+2).

With any of the cams mentioned in this thread I suggest at least 3.90 rear gears.

 

I have a ls1 Trans Am.

 

I have the ssht in my car and I love it. It makes great power and is easy to drive on the street. It's been a proven cam for years and there's a reason why. Ed Curtis knows what he's doing.

 

It was with 275 BFG drag radials. The BFGs IMHO were not very good, I couldn't dead hook either because of the tires or track. The IRS of the GTO makes it difficult to launch with a manual and its a heavier car than a f-body too. Although the car could scoot the power under the curve on the street made it really impressive.

 

I used to run the TV2 in my old old LS1 setup, and overall I really liked that cam. IMO it shined the most in the mid range

 

If you're worried about the SSHT cam being too small you could always look at the FTI HellRaiser. I had it... Made the numbers in my sig.

I'd personally just shoot Ed an email and let him decide.

 

I'm gonna email him,, Hellraiser seems like it would be a little large for stock 3.42s

 

SSHT is a badass cam for 228*. friend made 440/409 in his LS6 (stock heads). 2 others did 450-460 with heads and bolt ons LS1s.

 

It gave me no issues at all in the Camaro. Then again Geoff @ EPS did an amazing tune.
