What cam to run with the LQ9, L92s, L76.
I'm sure this has been asked but i did a search on it and cannot find anything useful. Have asked several people as well and some don't know, others won't tell me.
I'm doing a 6.0 Iron block (LQ9) with CNC L92 heads, and the L76 intake manifold. i've been trying to find out what cam to get for it and was pretty well set on a 236-240 608 111, but have been told it's way to big. I was told to go with a smaller cam to make best power but I'm not sure on which specs to get. i would like to stick with a cam i can use my small stall with as well. any help on which cam to go with?

I have a 6.0L with WCCH stg 2 L92's and a ported L76 intake/TB. I am running a Custom Cam 231/243 .617”/.624” 114LSA +4 advance It has not been Fully tuned and only has around 240 miles but seems to run STRONG with lots of low end. This cam was spec'd for nitrous in mind (200 Shot). However with your Small Stall i would probably choose one of the 228/232's that many vendors cary for the L92. Synergy has one

yeah i was debating a 228 area cam, i just sold my old one which would of been perfect. i would go with Synergy but i can get CCs at cost and i'm on a major budget right now. otherwise i definitely would...

Very interested in well to see what your dyno #s are. Im not hi-jacking the thread but how much bigger than a 228/232 cam with say a 4400 stall in a 377 and alot of nitrous?

ive just fired my new l98(6lt alloy,l92 headed,l76 manifold),with 224/230 114 comp cam,it sounds sweet,will finish tuning this week and post some numbers.car has 3600 stall th400,1.75" trys,3"duals,3.73 9".
point to this exercise your trying to achieve,is,drivability,torque,and fun factor,
dont over cam your large port(l92 style)heads,tou will lose the torque and have to rev it.
especially with a small stall.
cheers dave,

It has worked great for me. It is much faster than my 1/4 mile time/trap indicates. There was a lot of crap that went wrong on the run in my sig, but the car has low 11's and 127+ mph in her once I get everything ironed out. I have 7500 miles on this cam'ed setup and she hasn't missed a beat. Very driveable.
