Hello all!! I finally registared for the forums, I have been reading lots of things on here and you guys give the best advice for a novice (like me) LS1 owner. I have been trying to figure out which cam would be best to put in my ride. I have an 02 Z28. I used to own a 96 Impala SS but wanted a Camaro REAL BAD!!! LOL! im looking for a cam that produces great horsepower through out the RPM range but also, something that I could drive everday on. I already have the SLP Flo-Pac coming to me and Im going to buy one of th GMMG exhausts cause they sound bad ***! As for headers I have no clue what to buy, something resonable in price. back to the cam....... Like i said great HP and good to be an everday driver, (until I get a winter ride) and I plan on doing more road courses and track racing then 1/4 mile drags. I would like peoples suggestions and past or previous experiences. you can also email your advice if youd like to.....ryan_phillips99@yahoo.com.
THANKS ALL!

Welcome to the boards man. Fortunately for you many people have asked this question before. Your best bet would be to search for "ls1 cam daily driver". You'll get many results that you'll be able to sort through and get a good sense of what works for others. Good luck.
