new to ls world cam selection help im new to the ls world. that being said ive been doing lots of reading. I recently bought a 6.0 to do a swap in a 93 Camaro for drag use only. plan is for stock bottom end, 799 heads, and a carb set up.
ive found with my reading that people say keep the rpms under 6300 rpm so I planed on shifting around 6k. so now my confusion. every cam I find in that rpm range seams mild to me with a wide rpm range minimal lift/small duration (im used to picking out sbc cams)
im using a carb and no street time so idle quality and low rpm mean nothing to me. some advice would be great thanks.

With the carb, single plane intake i would imagine and track only, seems like a perfect candidate for a Solid Roller or Low Lash Solid Roller.
Something like 246/252 duration at .050 with 106-108 LSA, after lashed maybe 242/248 duration. Solid Roller T-rex basically with LSA to work well with the single plane & carb. Duration & LSA might have to be tweaked to piston to valve clearance concerns.
I think that might be a fun starting point for discussion with vendor's & cam guru'swith the goal of a getting custom solid roller.
