What cam to use?
I want a cam that will make my camaro idle like stock, yet give it a lot of power. I am thinking about buying the lingenfelter "LS1 GT2-3- SBC 350-383 207/220 .573/.580 w 1.7 rocker 117.5 CL $429.95"(http://www.lingenfelter.com/lingenfe...mp;pf%5Fid=102). I don't know much about camshafts. Is this a good choice or should I with a different cam, perhaps the "Old Man Cam"? Please give me your input on what you think about this cam as well as other cams I should consider.
Also, I was wondering if anyone has done anything useful with the red LED light on the dash. (Perhaps made it into a stealth shift light or radar detector.)

This is the first post I have made. Is there any good reason why NO ONE is responding?

Re: What cam to use?
#1) you could do a search for this cam and find out about it
#2) i have this cam but its in my stroker and doesnt work well with it
#3) if you would want it i would sell it , it has 5000 miles on it & i neeeed to go bigger , it is a 205/212 with .540" lift and a 116.5 cl
and lastly there is a guy on this site LPE98ss who had it and loved it , maybe you could find him and pm
hope this helps bdawg
now i press continue ?

Re: What cam to use?
Thanks for the help. I did a search and it did help, but I would like to have found more people who have or who once had this cam and liked it. I don't want to spend $429.95 and find out later that there is a cam that would work better for me. I want to find other people out there who have set their car up the way I want mine and get their opinions. I know there is a cam made by Thunder Racing that is supposed to be a good old man cam, and I want to get opinions on if I should get the 'TR OLD MAN CAM' or the GT2-3. (After all both of these are old man cams, right??) Unless anyone changes my mind I will get the GT2-3. I just want to find some people who can confirm what I believe about this cam.
bdawg, thanks for the offer, but I want the new version of the GT2 cam. I believe it will give me more power than the older version of this cam (which is what I believe you have).

Re: What cam to use?
Anything in the 220's for a duration will probably have some lope to it..
I was running a 214/218 .540/.550 114lsa cam for a while, that idles like stock in the 346, now I will be putting it into my 372...
