Default What Cam???

Hey, I have an SS Camaro with about 375 RWHP. It has most all of the bolt-ons but no headers or converter. I want a powerful cam with a really heavy loping sound(I want the car to sound like it's choking). Any suggestions on which cam i should go for and about how much RWHP that cam would give me? Thanks.

How do you have 375 wheel power with no headers or cam? From what I hear the cheaTR cam is great for a car with stock manifolds.

I'd also like to know how you have 375rwhp with just bolt-ons and no long tubes on an A4? Did you have an LS6 engine dropped in there?

Also, if you want to see the most out of your cam, you will need some longtubes, so that should probably be your best bet instead of getting a cam first.

convertor first, then headers, then cam.

Get your mods in line and you will appreciate the cam much more.

Yeah, did you mean to say 375 at the flywheel? What are your current mods?

..........that sounds just "a little" unrealistic.......


these questions are always pointless (what cam do I use so my car almost dies at idle?)........if you just want the car to idle like ****, pull half the plug wires off.......free **** idle....

Must be a typo. No way he has 375 at the wheels on a bolt on automatic. I'd be lucky to get that with my bolt on setup - and I have a cam too!
