What's the best cam that will fit under stock 241 heads? I wanna put a bigger cam in my TA but i dont want to have to flycut. I want a cam that puts out some decent power, but it's gotta sound nasty. I want it to lope HARD, but not so lopey it'll be hard as hell to tune. What do ya'll suggest?

 

Futral Motorsports F-15 (RJ-15)

 

I have this same question, my tsp 225 just isn't lopey enough. I've been looking at the MS3 on a 112 LCA.

 

that F15 looks like a beast from the specs, i might think about the F14, i'd kinda rather keep it under 600 lift for better spring life. The F14 looks like the same specs as a Torquer V2. I kinda wonder about Futral's cams after that bad batch of F13's they put out.

 

Run with dual springs and up the lift. You'll have a lot more area under the curve. Patrick G had a lot of success with the TRak cam.

 

you can also email Lunati / Comp / TSP/ Thunderracing etc.etc. and see what they have.. I have a Lunati grind cam in my 99 formy and its a 234/236 .050 .544 .545 @ 110 LSA Lopes REALLY NOTICABLY..but wont shake the hell outta your car either..completely streetable..with that cam i put down 385/395 w/ a stock LS1 intake and stock throttlebody...since then i bought an LS6 and an 80 mm BBK and yes i had LT's and the loudmouth 1 exhaust..

 

.640 lift on the intake i'll pass.

 

Shoot Slowhawk a PM I just installed on of his cams in a friends car with 241 heads sounds mint loops hard and put 400+ rwhp with basic cam bolt on's.

Another cam you could go with a g5x2 or g5x3 they'll fit and give good power

See sig for vids:

 

See sig for mods and vid.

 

I am running G5X2 on my car and I like it alot. In a week I will have dyno numbers for a cam and bolt on car with a LS6 intake. I am hoping 400 but i would like just a little over 400.

 

Exactly why I sold mine. Go with a G5X4....the BEST cam only cam in my opinion. If you want to stay around .600" lift, the F14 will work well, or the G5X2.

 

man that vid through the muffler hardly sounds mean, but it sounds pretty lopey with open cutouts.

 

Mine works just fine.

 

If you have a forged bottom, don't you have valve reliefs in your pistons?

 

the previous owner got the engine built, if i would have done it, then i would have done pistons with valve reliefs. That's the problem with buying modded cars i guess, everyone mods differently. I didn't know how bad these LS1's are with PTV until recently. I've only messed with LT1's until i got this TA. My friends LT1 has like .060 off the heads and a big cam with no PTV issues and an LS1 cant take hardly any milling with a decent sized cam, with flycutting.

 

Don't you have Patriots?

I love the G5X3 too....I got mine on a 110...it'll be here Friday.

 

Yes right now i have patriot heads on the car, but i'm taking them off soon and putting low milage 241 heads with 650 lift springs on. (Dont ask me why, it's a long story)

 

Well, there you go, you have springs to handle the lift, go for something like the T-Rak. 2 valve engines LOVE higher lift.

 

ya dude i would jus go with a torquer from comp cams like my brothrs got(shinerbock07) he just got new z06 heads and torquer camon his 99' ws6 , but it is has a problem with the O2 senser. u should ask my bro about what cam to get for ur firehawk, because im just a noob.
Later,
Cameron

 

Our stage 2R cam will fit but its close I still recommend checking piston to valve. Its 236@.050 and its on a 113 Lobe sep. .602 lift.

The web site is wrong its a 113 LS , you can call me or Rick on monday
