Fairly new to the LS1 world
Fairly new to the LS1 world I have owned my car for a few months now and am looking to put a cam im it. The only thing done to the car so far is a lid. Im planing on doing cam, exaust, and headers. For headers im going to go with a set of coated Pacesetters and for exaust im doing my own custom set up on it, now to my main question what cam to get, im not looking for a radical cam just one to open her up a bit. So everyone give my your imputs.
The car is a stock(-the lid) 99 Trans-Am M6.

I say go with a low 230's duration cam on both intake and exhaust on a 112 lsa (maybe even a 114 lsa) with over .600 lift. I have the cam in my sig (232/238 112 lsa over .600 lift) and it sounds mean, makes great power, and idles damn well for a pretty big cam. Team that up with an ls6 intake, long tubes, ported TB, and underdrive pulley and you will have a beast. I agree with T-maxx though go big as most guys with smaller sized cams will swap for bigger cams after a while.
If you are interested in the Torquer v2, give TSP a call. I just bought mine this afternoon with the PRC springs, ported LS6 pump, and LS2 chain.
Cant wait to get it in.

Nice sounds like a real stout cam. With all the bolt ons you could see 380+ rwhp. I vote to keep the GN! If its in sound condition and doesnt need a lot of work def keep it, those things are so badass, I would love to own one myself.
