LS2 cam setup - please help
Hi guys,
I have a 2005 Corvette LS2 manual stock with full exhaust (headers and catback) and I want a cam setup.
The car is driven mainly in the city, I want a nice sound at iddle but still to be a good daily driver. The cam should be ok for a future supercharger upgrade. I'm looking for torque not top end power.
What setup would you recomand ?
I'm looking at
N230 SDPC LSX Camshaft 230/238 .565/.595 115
TSP 228R 228/228 114 (don't know the lift but it's around .585)
Z+221 SDPC LSX Camshaft 221/226 .565/.560 114
Lingenfelter GT9 LS9 ZR1 Supercharger Camshaft All LSx Engines-(215/247 .629/.656 121 CL)
any other sugestions will be great.
Thanks,
Mihai

VXr5 is too wild for me. I talk to SpinMonster and I decided on this setup:
COMP CAMS 273 XTREME XE-R XER273HR 224/230 .581 .588 114
LUNATI 7.400" ONE-PIECE PUSHRODS
LUNATI GOLD DUAL VALVE SPRING SPRINGS KIT .660" MAX LIFT
C5-R timing chain
He said I should mill the heads to get a plain surface if I go with 7.400 pushrods so everything will line up perfect.
The correct pushrod lenght for this cam should be 7.430 . I'll go with the 7.400 and just shave the heads and do some porting. Any ideeas how much should I mill ? I want to keep the compression as low as possible.
