um...All of the after market cams will. Your best bet is something like the cheatR cam made for stock cars. It is from thunder racing

just wondering because the last thread i posted i got a response that a cam upgrade is great but with out ported heads or after markets its not worth it i found that hard to believe. im doing the valve train up grades springs, seats, push rods exc... mainly wondering do the stock heads flow enough for a bigger cam!!! according to some im waisting my time. im just on a tight budget

At least do headers and make sure you've got at least an LS6 IM.

Well whomever told you that is retarded... lol

Tons of people on this board have bolts on/cam and stock heads, making GREAT power... For "stock" heads, they work very well

With headers and stock heads, I got 44 rwhp and 36 ft/lbs of torque
with a TSP 228R LSA 114.

Dont be so quick to be harsh on people mister dropped $15k & didn't upgrade his short block & spun a bearing.


To anwser your question a reverse split cam is gonna be your best bet with stock heads. You'll want something like a 230/224 or something similar. And at least a LS6 intake manifold. I'd also suggest a port/polished TB & full exhaust if you wanna see the full potiential.

so contribute to helping him out rather than acting all high and mighty. its asshats like you that turn people away from asking for help, knowledge and advice...

to the OP, there are a varity of good cams out there that will work great with stock heads. like mentioned perviously, getting other bolt-ons in addtion to the cam you end up selecting will only help produce more power...

i personally have a 224 .581 @112lsa and so far for me it works great. very DD friendly and great pwer under the curve. when i had that cam and Lt's/ORY and SLP LM, and tune i dyned 366/356, starting numbers were 325/330. gains of 41/26 to the ground...

Yes stock heads are used quite a bit bc heads are freaking expensive as hell. So we scrounge where we can. Any cam will be a major upgrade as long as its above a 220 duration cam.

What's behind the constant recommendation of an LS6 intake?
5 horsepower for $500+?
You can do better with a pulley for half that.

you pick up a used one all the time for $300-350 and they increase hp more like 10-15

LOL, been a member on here since 01' & your facts aren't even right. You really need to do more research.

Anyone payin $500 for a LS6 intake is dumb, period. Like stated above you can get them all day long on here for $300-350 shipped. And they will increase you more than 5hp. It has been dyno proven time & time again.

And I would do a LS6 intake swap before I would mess with a balancer pulley anyday.

Yep, got my LS6 intake w/ EGR from a member on here for about $325 shipped. Not too bad for 15hp. I DEFINITELY felt the added top end

Check out the LG camshafts on this site. There are dyno graphs that you can compare that also have stock heads. The G5X3 cam makes consistent high power numbers and has good driveability. If your car is a 2001 or 2002, it will have the LS6 intake manifold.

I just installed the G5X3 114 LSA in my 2001 ZO6. I had previously installed TPIS headers, ported LPE LS6 heads and a Momofied 90/90 Fast intake/TB.
