Default 252/260 .600/.615 112 would this came be a good 408ci choice?

After much research, I think I have come up with the cam specs I would like to go with or be around. Car is a 99 WS6 vert, 408ci iron block, gold springs, ported ls6 heads, TH400, 4000stall, 200shot. Maybe will see 500 - 700 miles a month, plus track time.

252/260 .600/.615 112


i want an aggressive *** cam that makes power all around. But dont want to replace springs every other day

What do you guys think or suggest

I'm not sure who carries a lobe with those numbers. Maybe a custom designer like Ed Curtis can chime in.

Now people are starting to see the light. That is a good healthy cam for that motor but honestly I would tighten the lsa up a little bit to 110. I would go even further if you weren't shooting nitrous. I'd also add more exhaust duration to that cam, say 265 or so.

little large for that much mileage. I would say something more like a 246/250 like I have.

Nothing wrong with that cam, but you will need a good stall to benefit from it. My lift is higher than that and I drive on the street all the time.
