Default Head and cam question

I'm looking to install a head and cam setup in my 98 LS1. I need some ideas on what to get. I have a 3600 stall, all the free mods and SLP longtubes.

Dan, you might consider the LS1 hotcam,use the LS6 HEADS and LS6 intake.
That would be a great start,if needed we can step up the cam along with the heads.There are alot of choices and opinions.but this would be a great upgrade.

A Hot cam The heads and intake are an ok idea, but research the cams that have came out recently and make triple the power of the hotcam.

I agree with you,we have plenty of custom grinds,we have more than what GM offers,such as Crane ect...depends on what the customer is looking for such as idle quality ect..

bah go get some tea stage whatever you can afford heads and get a g5x3 or g5x4 cam and go get that puppy tuned!!!! you should be into the 400 hp range with a ls6 intake manifold and a good tune!!!

^ thats the route i wish i would have gone.

you have the same mods as me LOL.. vig3600 and slp headers... I used the 224/224 114 cam with good luck cam only(11.5's)

then i added TEA 1.5's and those worked well with the setup. I just recently slapped a FMS 228/230 114 cam in there and im very happy with that setup.

a 224-226ish cam would be perfect for the street with those tea 1.5 heads
