Default Cams (LT1)

Whats up guys, i was wondering what kind of cams you are running in your lt1's. I am wanting to make mine a fast street car, and i want a cam with strong midrange power and good top-end. I dont plan on reving anywhere past 6000-6200. So hit me up with some info.

Thanks Mike

well the 306 is a good cam but it goes up to 6800 or so... the 305 will make good numbers and it has a big range from low to high

both the 306 & 305 cams are good cams, but are old technology.
If you want a lower RPM power band you will want to keep the duration in the 220 - 230 range. I really like the new Comp XFI grinds.

Choosing a cam is not a simple answer, to really help you choose the right cam we need to know the uses/goal for the car and the current mods.
