Default Looking for a sleeper cam.

What cam can i use as a sleeper without the whole idling, but will produce good numbers as a heavy cam would. Ive heard of one but cant remember the name of the cam. Thanks.

I got a 224/224 with a high 116 lsa. It's a pretty good sleeper. Although if I had to do it again I might go with a 220 114. Get more mid range.

But the car idles pretty damn close to stock, and unless you stand behind the car you won't know it has a cam. Power feels stock until 5000+ and around 6300 is where it's peak power should be. I picked up 3mph at the track with the cam and UD pully. Could be more if I could get traction!!

Something in the 215-225 duration range with an LSA of 115+. You could still get some nice power and maintain a very stealth idle. Might want to read some of the suggestions in this thread.

Check my sig, This cam is very stealthy and makes nice#'s. I never ran it w/o the heads so in a stock ls1 I don't know what the 3's would be like.

With my lsa not sure. Thunderracing has a dyno of a 224 cam with a 112 made 398rwhp. Most bolt on's through a 6 speed. I didn't get to dyno mine before or after yet. But since I started tuning it she's really pullin hard now
