save yourself read the stickies at the top of the Internal section and delete this thread as soon as you can. In the stickies there is a part in there that they give you like ten really good LS1 cams. I won't feel sorry for you if you don't listen to me.

I have 5 of those cams in my car right now. I pulls real hard at the track. Not as streetable as some other cams...but real easy to tune. I ran into a little bit of PTV clearance problems with my car (well originally I had 8 of those cams....) so I just pulled 3 of them out. That took care of that problem.

Here is the dyno graph

read this and maybe it will help you out and teach you some things about how engines work and how parts need to work with each other. that doesn't mean get a massive cam and then leave everything else stock. everything in the engine has to work together. so you get a HUGE cam that with a massive ex. and int. valve lift, so your letting all this air in but now your heads are slowing the flow of exaust out and your intake cant supply the air that the cam is calling for. so you've got to take into consideration everything.
