LQ4 W/LS6 Heads Cam selection Hello all,
During this summer I plan on purchasing either a Shorblock or Bareblock LQ4 and building it myself. I am going to use LS6 heads, which will yield a 1 point higher CP than with the LQ4 heads So my CP would be around a 10.5:1. I have spent hours and hours on this section reviewing cams and hearing what people have to say about each one. I really need some help in this area.
I will be running around a 3K-3500K stall
I will be using hardened pushrods, 918 springs.
I want a cam that produces great power with daily driveability and I prefer a choppy idle
Anyway, I looked at the ASA cam, really "realiable" cam, but I've heard it just doesn't give enough. The TR220 or 224 looks promising. And others I haven't had time to research are the FM series cam I assume FM 13, 14, and also TSPs selection.
Which cam would you recommend? I just don't want to do a whole motor build up and be like "Man, I wish I went bigger"
