Reving your motor to 6K is seriously limiting the choice.
You'll need a cam that Has a 38 to 40 IVC to benefit from the power earlier.
Check out some cams on VINCI site>>> sponsor like the 062 cam
If you want something a little more stealthy then my custom grind
210/224, .555/.567 115+1 LSA will also fit the bill.

Well, you can DD anything that has a decent tune allowing for that. Sounds like you have most of the stuff you need. I say get the cam, find a reputable tuner in your area and see what happens. Gears and stall combo should make it have less low RPM bucking, and Surge can be tuned out fairly easily.

thank you for the replies.....im not worried about it being stealthy, i would rather it loped a little so you could tell it was there.
as far as the tune goes i am thinking of getting a mail order tune from tsp (if i get one of their cams) would that work good...he said they give very good tunes. thanks

You guys are only reading between the lines. He said he didn't want to rev higher than 6000 rpm. I had a TQ V2 and it peaked at 6300.
So no the TQ V2 is not the cam for what he wants.
If he want to shift at 6000 then his cam needs to peak at around 5800, capiche

What is the reason you don't want to take it past 6000? If you are dead set on it, then PREDATOR-Z is right, look into something else. If you think that 6000 is some magic number you should not exceed, then perhaps you should consider that most cam changes will require spring upgrades and PCM changes. If you get matched components from TSP with their tune, then taking it to 6500 should not be any problem.
If you are set on 6000, then consider the TSP 220/220 cam, or the 224R. But get it with the 112 LSA, or ask about a custom grind for your requirements.

This is what I recommend: You can buy it here (VINCI)
http://www.vincihighperformance.com/...%20LS1%202.htm
062 cam
DUR @ .004" 272*/280*
DUR @ .050" 210*/218*
LIFT .551 / .551
OVERLAP 52*
LSA 112*
It is lopey, easy on springs, great trq down low and midrange, and you can shift it at 6000 rpm since it peaks around 5800>5900

Thunder Racing has a new Torque Series of cams that might appeal to you.
224/224 .563/.563 110LSA +2
This cam is easy on springs (you can run Comp 918s) and it will make peak power by 6000 and will maximize the power under the curve.

what kind of horspower and torque does this cam make? is there a graph anywhere for one? thanks
i put that one in my wife's car. picked up 30 rwtq and 22 rwhp. even the wife said, it seems to accelerate quicker from a stop now.
