"stealth" cam
"stealth" cam hey everyone,
I am looking for a "stealthy" cam for my forged lq4 short block, 243 heads, and a ls6 intake. off the shelf is fine. i also will be running a 200hp wet plate, but hardly ever. right now i am leaning towards either a gt2/3, or a gt11. but i am open to other suggestions.
the car is a daily driver with a yank 3600 converter.
thanks for your help,
Bruce

the z06 cam seems like best bang for the buck, i am just wondering how much better i can do with the same drive-ability and tame idle.
Shale, any idea how much power you picked up? i have read that the gt2/3 will net around 35-40hp alone. i am aiming for 500whp w/o n2o. im thinking with the ported 243s in my lq4, i should be getting close depending on cam selection. this is no dyno queen so if i dont hit 500 oh well, rather have a better curve than a peak number...

Yeah getting a 364 to 500whp would take a cam that would definitely rumble. So the sleeperish route will limit you to the 430-450 range depending on how well your heads turn out
The LPE 2-3 is pretty tame even in a LS1 so with more inches and compression you could creatively sneak a 224/228 past most people with a wider 116 lobe separation and setting the idle at 950

well i guess a little lope isnt a bad thing... lol. with those goals in mind, whats a "tamish" cam that would get me close? or should i be looking into a custom cam, or am i just out of my mind? whats a realistic goal?
ya i guess "street manners" is a good term for what i am looking for. i like the fact i can start my car and go. (not that i do) any other suggestions? that cam sounds like a good option...
Sounds like a great choice for your application.
