Cam for this set-up?
Cam for this set-up? first the mods
PP stage 2 5.3L heads 706 castings. 10:5.1
LS6 intake
U/D pully
descreened MAF
M6
with the cam thats in it now (comp cam. .535 lift. is all i know) it makes 399 at the wheels. i did alot of reading on here and have a few cams in mind. i would like to see closer to 450-500rwhp out of this engine. i know it can be done with the mods i have. the car will see no drag racing at all, some auto cross and some road track.
cams i was looking at
MS3
MS4
MTI X1
there was a few others but those were the main ones.
i am also open to throttle body ideas, right not it is stock, thinking about porting it.

MS3 would SUCK for road racing. It's got no ***** down low. Go with the MTI for road racing. That reverse split would do the trick just right. But out of curiosity, why such a WIDE variation in cam types? One is great low/mid, while one is acceptable mid and high, while another is only a top end cam.

You need something with better mid-range torque than those big duration cams if you're going to auto cross or road race. Something more like 224/230 .609/.604 111LSA +2advance with your mods and goals.
