LS1 Buildup, which cam? I have a third gen Firebird that will be getting an LS1 in the near future. I would like to see at least 400 rwhp when all said and done. I purchased a donor 2000 Z28 with a rod knock. More than likely I will purchase a good low mileage short block and use that. I have stock 243 heads an LS6 intake that I will be using. I am not 100% sure what cam is currently in the car but I was told it was a 224 cam, possibly a TR224/224 with 112 LSA. I was told the current PCM is tuned for the cam it has.
The exhaust I will be using long tube headers with 1 7/8 Primaries, 3 inch collectors going into a SLP Loudmouth catback. I plan on using the stock LS1 fuel pump or a Walbro 255.
The transmission will be a T56 with a LS7 clutch and the rear will have 3.42s
My question is what cam would be a good cam that operates well within the flow limits of the LS6 intake. This will be mainly a street car that is driven frequently. I am open to looking into intake and head work, but would like to keep this affordable.
Thanks,
Josh

my camaro Hi got an 02 z28 with yank 3600 4.10s texas speed magic stick 4 cam 239/242 @.50 609/ 649 lift engine has 1 3/4 long tubes no cats and magnaflow exhuast and a 85mm air meter , a true cam only car ,just got it back from turbo technology (Tacoma Wa.) they tuned and dynoed it . It made 397 hp at the rear wheels at 6500 rpm (about 475 at the flywheel). The magic stick 4 is a great camshaft that also works well with manual transmission cars too, it is a little choppy but behaves well in traffic and sounds fantastic.On saturday is the first Drag race of the year up here in Seattle and after that I am sure I will be joining the 11 second club ! LOL
