Cam selection ?
Cam selection ? Hey all, I've been kinda reading up on LS1 cams a little since I am not familiar with what everyone is running yet.(I used to have an LT1) I am thinking about camming my car this spring but I just had a couple questions about which cam to choose.
At first I was reading up and I thought I was pretty much decided on the Comp- XE-R 228/232 .588/.595 110LSA +2. It seems to have VERY good midrange power which is what I think I would like since its a street car and daily driver and I rarely visit the track, however when I do go to the track my only goal is to just get into the high 11's.
Then I began reading how everyone seems to love the MS3 cam. Now I do realize that these two cams aren't exactly the closest of cams to compare, but hey, who doesn't want more horsepower? I realize this cam will be a little more agressive than my first choice (or will it be since the Comp cam is on a 110LSA and the MS3 would be on a 113LSA?). Anyways, on TSP's website they claim the power band is from 2300-6800 RPM's. I definately don't wanna spin my motor that high, what is everyone with the MS3 shifting at?
So which do you all think would be best for me considering that this is a daily driver and my only goal is to break into the 11's? I realize that sometimes bigger isn't always better, so help me out guys. Here is my car info, and what will be my supporting mods.
98 Z28, M6, 4:10's
MTI lid
Ported/polished TB
Ported/polished stock heads
Pacesetter longtubes w/ true duals (x-pipe)
LS6 Intake
......cam?????

Would a 110lsa be hell in a dd? I thought I had read on couple other treads where patric was saying 110lsa cams would work good on the steet. I was thinking about the first cam as well instead of my original choice of an f13, but still doing research. Thanks

Are you saying that just the sound would make me not want them on the street? I already have dumped duals I love a loud car, and the lope would just make me happier, I just didnt know if there would be problems with driving the 110 as a dd. Didn't think so but I dont know much bout cams
