I have 1500 dollars for spending wondering what i should get?
looking for some streetability...

 

I think a nice Cam and upgraded Valvetrain would be money well spent

Cam it.

 

Cam, springs, pushrods. torque arm-you have enough to get them all

 

Or even a NOS kit.

 

Cam + tires

 

I was lookng at these cams and trying to decide which one was best for sound, max power, and streetability

Ron Jeremy 236/239 .600"/.611" ??? LSA
Magic Stick 237/242 .603"/.609"113 LSA
G5X-3 2??/2?? .600"/.610" 114 LSA
TRex 242/248 .610"/.615" 110+2 LSA

 

All of them seem to be making great power. I have no experience with any of them, but from what I hear, Futral seems to make some awesome cams that are very streetable. So out of the ones listed, I would go with the Ron Jeremy. Or, if you want even more power, you could save a little more and get heads and a slightly smaller cam, like the F13. That is what I plan on doing. Do you drag race the car? Is it an M6? If so, you might want to consider a stronger rear end before getting more power. Just a thought.

 

I was at the same dilemma as you with having money to spend and not knowing what to do with it. I had a little more than you though. I decided on getting a TSP 231/237 cam w/ pushrods, retainers, dual springs, seats, LS6 ported oil pump, and double roller timing chain and also an LS6 intake. Don't forget about installation charges if you don't know how to do the work yourself. And also, with ALL the cams you mentioned above you will also need to shell out about $300-500 more for tuning. Keep that in mind and make an informed decision.

 

good advice by all...
i would warn only one thing.
keep 500 set aside for tuning, streetablilty is ALL about the tune. with a poor tune even a baby 224 cam can suck on the street, but with the right tune a trex seems tame ....

 

Haha, I dont know about 'tame' but its very driveable

 

if it aint cut'n out at every light, surging at anything under 2k rpm ect ect... then its tame in my book... big solid roller....now thats not tame

 

I would say get first suspension + cam + exhaust system

 

LS6 intake manifold, and heads and then if theres any left over, cam, and toss in some SFC's or a STB

 

heads will do him little good without a cam,
stb dont improve 1/4 mile times

 

durability, dont want to break anything

 

That is my exact thought on street ability

Dan

 

that ron jeremy cam makes me

hopefully when i get my ducks in a row, ill have the ron jeremy, jet-hot lt's, and a TSP true dual setup. i need a new clutch/hydraulics and ill be ready to put some money into power.

if i was in your situation, i would cam it.

 

cam, valvetrain, and dr

 

well unless your talking about afr heads(and since they cost 2500 you cant be) then most every after market heads on the market is a ported version of the stock casting. so how would they be anymore durable then the stock heads?

if you ment upgrade his valve train,(ie. valve springs,ti retainers,push rods,ect.)
well those are parts of most cam kits....
