Forged 347 Cam Advice. Please Help What cam would you guys suggest in a forged 347 with flat top Mahle pistons and rods, stock crank, ls6 intake, pulleys, longtubes, and just really full bolt ons. I am either going with ls6 stage 2 heads or maybe TEA stage 2 heads. Neither have been milled. What cam would make the most power and good rpm and torque range?
Just make shore you get it balanced, I spun my 347 ,7800 rpms and never had any problem for three years, mater of fact i steal have the short block ,thinking of freshen it up and keeping it for a backup

What do you plan on doing with the car??? Is it a DD or a track only car or a weekend car??
What gears in the rear?? Tranny? Are you going to spray it?? All Motor??
All of these are questions that need to be answered before any valid cam can be suggested. Other than that they are just shots in the dark.

Mods are:

loudmouth exhaust
forged piston and rods

This is a weekend car only. I am wanting to spray it occasionally. Maybe a 150-200 shot. This probably going to be with cnc ported ls6 heads.

It really depends on what you want. What was your old set up, did you have a cam in it, if so what were the specs and how did you like it? So guys like smaller cams, some like bigger cams, it just depends on what you are using it for and what you want out of it. As far as off of the shelf big cams, MS4, Vindicator, G5X4 etc. have made good numbers and good times. I personally went with a Vindicator.
The next step smaller, G5X3, Torquer, F13, F14, etc. have all been proven performers. This might be the range that you want to consider if you are wanting a "good rpm and torque range". The G5X3 is a great cam.
