Another Cam Selection Thread
Another Cam Selection Thread Hey guys,
I've decided to go the route of putting a cam in my car. My current mod's are a lid, ls6 intake, 1.8 gold roller rockers, bigger valve springs (this was all done by the previous owner because he was going to put a cam in the car), exhaust cut out, 100hp dry shot, and 4.10's are going in soon. I do daily drive the car. I've been doing alot of research, yet I can't quite figure out which cam to go with. Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

yeah, since the ms3 has "fast ramp rates", will that have any effect on my 1.8 rockers?

well on thunder racings website, for basically all of their cam's, right under the title of them, they say not to use 1.8 rockers because of fast ramp rates.

231/237 .598/.595 /112 - would i be able to use this cam from TSP?
You bet. The 918's are rated up to a .600 lift and some say you can go even larger (though I wouldn't personally recommend it). I still don't know about those rockers though, and what the limits are with them.

Thanks for your help!

i'm still new to the ls1 engine and apologize if some of these questions are dumb
