I've always wanted to throw a setup together like this. Yes there are better cams out there for what you are looking for. Your stall is going to hold you back, the ls6 cam(or any cam for that matter) is going to make more power up top than stock. You should easily break 11's with your setup and a 1.6 or so 60'. If you up your stall to 4000+ it would be a consistent and stealthy 11.4-11.5 setup

That is a very VERY optimistic et for the OP with an ls6 cam.

I don't think it is Very optimistic at all. That is unless he doesn't plan on doing the mods to the car itself that are necessary. Lots of guys do it, it just takes some effort with the chassis.

And that, as Paul Harvey would say, is the rest of the story.

That's what happens when you measure at adv instead of .050...and not a real good indicator of how it will perform and drive.

Somebody gets it. It would be a disappointment if this setup didn't run mid 11's first time down the track. There's little things that need attention more than just throwing a cam and set of heads on the car no matter what they are. Does that mean it's "optimized"? Not at all. Just the basics should do the trick. Why reach for anything E.T. Wise unless you put in a little bit of effort. Might as well say it's a fun street car and leave the stock wheels and tires on it.

In the overall pool of "car enthusiasts", aren't they all "streetcars"?

Here's my car with ls6 cam, bolt ons, stall. 11.67 @ 114 in 1800' da last weekend. Car will go 11.4s in the fall with a better 60'.


I will say that I wish I went with a bigger cam, but my goal is a 10 second car and a little nitrous will get me there.
