hi guys im new here. jus bought a 00 ss m6. only mod is magnaflow exhaust. in about two weeks im going to be buying a set of lts and would like to buy a cam also. i would like something with a nice choppy idle but is somewhat streetable. the car is a weekend car and i will bring it to the track a few times also it my be my dd down the road. thanks for your help

 

I would look for something around the 228/230 duration and .6xx/.5xx lift on a 112 LSA.

 

 

Custom Crane 224/232 .590/.600 111 (LSHS/HR5)

 

I'm thinking of ordering Texas-Speed's 228R cam (228/228 .588/.588 112)

 

This cam worked great in my buddies 04 gto very good power and no lose of driveability

 

JPH - what do your LSHS/JP5 lobes compare too? Lobe intensity etc,, In my old SBC days anything Crane you could count on as badass but I am learning the LSX world is different? Lunati was the same way you always knew you were getting the good stuf if you could afford it lol.

 

LSHS= comp XFI/LSK
HR5= comp XE/XER

Varys on lobe size?

 

TSP 228r.

 

listen to jph, i have the cam he has speced out. it runs good and lots of power everywhere.

 

228r sounds like it would suit you well

 

Go custom grind or go home.

 

My cam is similar Vengence Racing VRx4 228/230 on a 112 the lift matters little on stock heads, they stall @ .550" lift anyways. Its good to have but it doesnt need until you get heads and even then the intake (even a ported 92/92) is going to flow so much.

Something thats good in the mid range is whats fun on the street and does well at the track.

 

thanks guys for all your help so far. ive been looking at the tsp 228r cam, 233/239 or the torquer v.3. im also planning on putting in 4.10s by spring. would that affect my cam choice?

 

For racing, or even just driving, the 1st gear in a T-56 sucks and honestly you need the gear. If you had a stock 3.42, even with a good tire, it prob bog due to not being able to the heavy car off the line.

For a Torquer cam its still recommended going 4.10's

 

Go with Tick performance, there new polluter!


In a day and time when it seems like the entire world is focused on economical transportation and "going green", Tick Performance is... well... not. Call us old fashioned, but we still like making a lot of tire-shredding horsepower and making a lot of unadulterated noise. We designed this cam to be one of the biggest, nastiest, lopiest bumpsticks that you can slide into a stock bottom end - but with one important feature that competitor cams leave out: TORQUE.

For years, us cam-only LSx guys have been making big horsepower with big camshafts, but most left alot to be desired in the torque department. Determined to change that, we here at Tick Performance teamed up with GM Expert tuner Alvin Anderson of PCMForLess to design a camshaft that will offer the big horsepower numbers that big cams provide in these cars, but also make the big TORQUE that makes driving these heavy F-Bodies much easier and makes them feel much more responsive.

The specs? .24x/.24x (.61x/.61x) on a 110 or 112LSA

The results?

417.47hp 391.64tq


This isn't a car that is set up with all kinds of dyno tricks and optimizations to get the best number, this is an EXTREMELY basic bolt-on 2001 Camaro with a 6spd and our Polluter cam installed. These numbers are with an LS6 intake. These numbers are with a backyard true dual exhaust setup with SLP's old-design headers. These numbers are with bone stock heads that have never been off of the car and of course a bone stock, untouched bottom end. These results are from the Polluter on a 112LSA and the smoothing is set to zero because there is a spike in the graph when we set it to 5.

Imagine what would happen if we put a FAST 92mm Setup on it? Imagine what would happen if we put a far better exhaust on it? Imagine what would happen if we sprayed it?

Oh wait - this is Tick Performance! Of course we sprayed it.

521.85hp 515.28tq


The above results are with a Zex kit installed with the 125hp pills. The Polluter on a 112LSA absolutely loves nitrous!

For you all motor guys, the Polluter is available on a 110LSA, as well. We'll be posting results up soon for it! The 110LSA Polluter will require flycutting, so if you're going cam-only, the 112LSA is definitely your best bet. Although we suggest checking piston-to-valve clearance during every cam install, we haven't had any issues using the 112LSA version in non-flycut stock bottom end with stock heads & gaskets.

Since we know many of you guys are on a tight budget, we're keeping the pricing low for you: for a limited time, you can buy The Polluter for $364.99.

Our Standard Cam Kit includes the Polluter Camshaft, PRC Dual Valvesprings (rated for .660 lift), titanium retainers, spring seats, seals and hardened chromemoly 7.400" pushrods. It is $699.99.

Our Deluxe Cam Kit includes everything in our standard kit with the addition of an LS2 Timing Chain and a ported/blueprinted LS6 Oil Pump. Choose the deluxe kit if you're wanting everything needed to get the job done RIGHT. It is $879.99.

As always, if you spend more than $500 with us, we'll gladly give you FREE shipping. Click the link below to visit our online store and read more about our new Polluter cam:

This is a nice cam, but way to much for his application IMO.

 

what do you think my power at the rear wheels would be with lts and the texas-speed 233/239 with a good tune

 

Too big of a cam. Don't do it. I have a TR 224 on a 112 in my car and it rips. I'm unable to launch hard due to a stock clutch and a 10 bolt, but I'm still running low 12's and trapping around 117MPH even with 2.0 60' times. Why spin your engine to crazy RPM when it's a mostly street driven car? How often do you see 6500+ RPM on the street?

 

Sounds nice JHP Should make good power! Thanks for the info.
