Default im goin with stage 1 ls6 heads...down to 4 cams

I love their prices so im going with texas speed head and cam package. The heads are stg 1 ls6 heads and im gona pick from one of these 4 cams.

what I have: 2002 T/A M6/ full bolt ons, 4.10 gears

what I do:I wouldnt even call it a weekend warrior because I dont even drive it that much. The car sees track time about 2-4 times a year, love to drive it when its nice out, low mile car

what I want: I have a huge tolerance to "driveability" I want something aggresive and mean, that lopes (lower LSA) I would like mid to high range power...and it would be nice to see some decent tq in the midrange as well.

goals: rwhp 425 rwtq 400

Texas Speed 228R Camshaft

Texas Speed 233/239 Camshaft

Texas Speed Magic Stick V.3 237/242

Texas SpeedMS4 Camshaft Magic Stick V.4

a bigger cam will mean more mid/top power

what did you mean about the driveability.
