Default LS1 Cam only setups

Next summer, I'm planning on running a cam only setup but I don't know too much about this stuff. What is some good setups and where can i order them from? I've heard people making almost 400whp on a TR224 setup (not sure what that means) and thats just what i want.

You're gonna need a big cam to get 400 RWHP, and you have a '98 which puts you at even more of a disadvantage.

Get something in the 228-230 range and hope for 375 RWHP and be happy, the car wil move and feel great.

Look at the Futral F11/12 cams....

I made 381 RWHP, stock heads, through 4:10's with a "mild" F11-112 cam.

If your looking for around 400 RWHP, and mostly drive on the street, I would suggest a custom grind cam. A lot of guys are going with a 228/232 .588/.592 on a 110+2. You dont have to rev it to the moon, and has good power under the curve. This is what I am putting in mine come this spring.

I have a TR224/224 112 cam and averaged 394hp on the dyno. Full bolt on with SLP long tubes. Cam put out great numbers and runs great for being a daily drivin car. Would possibly go a little bigger now looking back. My buddy has a F-13 cam in his car and runs great.

yeah that seems to be a strong performer and it peaks early so you don't have to spin it past 6.5k to get peak performance. also realize some dynos are more forgiving than others.you may dyno 400rw on one and 380 on another so don't get caught up in the numbers.that 228/232 should be a strong street/strip performer.

sounds great, but is this feasible in a 98 car?

Yes it is. But no guarantee you will get 400rwhp. But you will be pleased, I'm sure.
