Max cam for streetable 402 M6
Max cam for streetable 402 M6 238/240 .608/.612 112 LSA Cam in a 402 stroker 6 speed. How streetable will it behave? The powerband on the cam is between 2800rpm and 7400 and I don't run my engine past 6000rpm. How much am I gonna lose?
Need some opinions, Thanks

I'll be stepping up from the basic LS6 cam 204 in/ 218 ex. .550/.550 117LSA. Right now I've got pretty quick throttle response and what feels like a decent amount of pull throughout the power band. THe idle is pretty smooth once it warms up except for a smalling surging that happens about once every couple of seconds.
This cam I'm looking at is a race only. Can someone tell me how it will feel below 2800rpm. Mostly just concerned with under 2000 as I'm driving on the highway.

That cam in a 402 is like blowing into a tunnel. A 402 can take a mid 240's duration real easy. We'll need to know the rest of your setup to determine intake/exhaust duration though. Then it's up to you to pick the lift/ramp/advance you want for the manners you want on the street. Judging by the fact that you want a really streetable setup, you're gonna want a wide lsa (read: as little overlap as possible) to keep the bottom end and street manners.

that's what she said 
So how about a 238/240 low .600's lift on a 112 lsa? that should keep me streetable. Talked with a camshaft manufacturer and they said it would make good power between 2500-6800 rpm. Just whe I want to be.

Damn....and I thought I was getting hammered for having a tr224/224 114 cam in a ls6 stage 1 headed 383. Do you have any rwhp/tq #'s with your z06 cam 402? Everyone is telling me to go bigger too!!!
My 402 has a 248/254 629/622 113.
Streetable, nice lope though. Fairly driveable right now and it only has a base tune on it.
Mine isn't a daily driver though. You might want something a touch smaller.

Call Ed @ EDC hes a sponser here and is the man when it comes to custom cams. He has a data sheet he has you fill out, so that he can get a feel of the car before he grinds your cam. At the least give him a call or write him an email.
He has done a couple guys here in az and they are more than happy with them. Not only that he does grinds for one of the local shops cam lines. He knows his ****.

Possible a cam such as an X4 ? Realatively converservative for an X4. **** the X4 in my ls6 is very streetable. Its all in the tune.
I should get those dyno numbers before I swap cams since it seems like a lot of people would like to know including myself. I'm just running a conservative mail order tune from Street & Performance in Mena, Arkansaw. After the cam install I'll be paying someone to really tune the engine in.
