Default Crazy Cam Idea's??? Help!!!

Looking for the absolute best cam for my application.

Stage 3 5.3 ls1 head, ls6 intake, LT headers, precision pump #7 converter, 12 bolt rear w/3.73's. STOCK SHORTBLOCK

This is not a daily driver, I'm just looking for a cam that would make the most power with this setup.

Any Idea's???????

I think my Heads and Cam set up would work very nice with that your asking about.

The flowing cams should be a good starting point.
At least one of the following or bigger:

TR-224
MTI C2 224/224 XE-R
SRP-224 224/224 XE-R with a tweak

Probably the following or bigger:

TR-227/224
MTI X1 227/224 XE-R
Fastech's cam...don't remember the name either F1 or F3 or something like that.
TR-230/224

Good heads will help any cam make more power.

If you are looking for the most power you can get out of it, you might want to look into getting a solid roller. It has hp advantages over the hyd. roller but requires more maintenance and costs more.
