help me pick a cam for my setup
help me pick a cam for my setup i need a cam to go with my setup...im getting some tea stage 2 5.3 heads that have been milled .015 (59 or 60cc i believe) and i plan on running them with cometic head gaskets (i already know i will probably have to flycut). My other mods include all the other usual boltons except an ud pulley and ewp. My car also has true duals and an ls6 intake for now but i plan on eventually swapping that out for a ported fast 90/90 setup. As for the cam i want to stay very streetable so i want a cam in the high 220 to low 230 range. So what do you guys think would be the best cam for my setup??

you have nice set of heads so why goin for smaller cams???
man you can still get the streetable manners with bigger cams than that?
like why goin for G5X1 while you can get G5X3 and get the best from your heads?
and you have an M6 so get a tighter LSA like 112 .

i know bigger its not always better .
but you need to mach your heads setup ,the smaller cams will run verey well plus you have an M6.
so going for more slightly bigger cams would get you there easly . think about it

Personally I use a camshaft that is 221@.050 with a TEA 5.3 head but I have an A4 tranny and like the low and midrange power it offers. I hope this rambling helps.
