I've seen the thread that discusses the 3 cams you can buy as a package with these heads.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ick+flow+heads

Here is TEA's recommended cam: TFS Stg 2 cam is a 220/224 .575/.575 112+4

I know there are a ton of tech guys on here and wanted to know if you guys
had any thoughts on a better cam for these heads. I'm running a stock
bottom end with an LS6 intake and kooks 1-7/8" headers. I also have the 3.42 gears.



I'm wanting all low end power. Something crisp and responsive from idle or
1500 up to 5500 rpm. Thats where I will drive it and thats where i want to
feel the power.

Head flow numbers 215 runners

0.4 272 231
0.5 308 252

0.6 324 262

Based on Brian's thread, it looks like you are making the right choice.

I was reading some of Jrods threads and he was saying some of these cams favor the intake to much. Any idea if that is the case with this cam?

I think I'll get these heads with a custom ground version of a G5X2. Gonna grind in more lift and more timing on a lower LSA than stock.

I would go with what Brian suggest's for what your after.
I think they are on the right track based on their results.

glr0212

why? Are you looking for more top end power.

I would follow TEAs advice. thats coming straight from the horses mouth. lmao

We talked yesterday about it, that's why. It's for more low-end power, not top-end.

What size are you looking at if you dont mind giving some of it away? What do you like about the G5 vs. TEA's cam?

Keeping with the 232/240 split of a standard G5X2, but doing the intake on an LSK lobe, which makes it something like .646/.609, although I might stick to stock X2 specs on a 112 +2.

I have those heads, and I use a Crane 228/232 @112+5 cam. My numbers are below, but what they don't say is how hard it pulls from idle up. I have plenty of low-end, and these heads are capable of huge flow, so if you limit your fun to 5500 rpms, maybe you could save yourself some $$ and get small port heads, such as the TSP 200cc ones.

5500rpm ? I hit the rev limiter with my stock cam 6200
about your cam selection I understand what your saying 1500- 5500, your driving range , but dont be afraid of pulling to a little higher rpm.

If your wanting all low end power, trade the 1 7/8 for 1 3/4....You need more cubes to benefit from the 1 7/8...I have the same headers...had them first on stock motor with 230/236 591/601 with be hive springs and some mods...lost my bottom end..just my 2 cents....

I have these heads as well. I am running a 230/230 cam but if my car was a daily driver I would go with Brian’s recommendation and go with the TFS Stg 2 cam.

I don't know, mine is a daily driver and I'll be going bigger.

Lets ask this question: With TFS heads, stage 2 cam and stock rearend what will this setup run in the quarter?

other stuff: kooks headers,ORY,LS6 intake, spec clutch.
