HOLY **** where are you finding these cams? Go check out some of the sponsor sites. They have proven cam grinds that are well known to produce good results.

Check out TSP, Thunder Racing, Livernois, LG...etc.

the stock 97-00 cam is better than that..i bet you saw it on ebay.if your want a cam that will sound stock and net you around 20rwhp go with an ls6 cam.

Hey thanks i think i will go with ls6 cam.

imho a LS6 cam is a waste of time. If your going through the trouble of a cam swap go a little bigger. If your looking for a good performance gain while keeping the car real tame on the street... go with a TR224.

those are some crazy cam numbers,you need to do some research before you buy.why do a cam if you will only get 20+ more hp ?

Dave@LivernoisDSS

EEEEK... I thought you had to spell Camaro correctly to post here ?

That cam is oddly small on the lift numbers. I have some of our Stage 1 cams in stock that will easily get you into the 12's with stock headers and heads. It's a 224/224/ .565.565 114ls. All you will need is a set of pushrods and better than stock valve springs.

You need to slow down and take some time thinking about what cam you want. First you need to get some better supporting mods imo before you even think about a cam.

you can pick these up for as low as 100 bucks and the cam is one of the easiest things to change on the lsx.add 60 bucks for a set of ls6 springs .you might have 250 in the whole swapthats pretty cheap for 20rwhp.and you dont need a loose stall to run it nor a tune...

You couldn't be further from the truth. The cam is by far not the easiest thing to change on these cars. In fact it's one of the more screwed up things that are installed on these cars. People don't install dot to dot, pinch o-ring, etc... Easiest things to install would include, strut tower brace, lid, maf, throttle body, most any suspension parts, etc...

If you only want 20rwhp and don't mind swapping cams I'd go for it. It's cheap power, and fairly easy IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

For as little as $400 (cam and 918 springs) you can get a cam that makes 2-3 times that power. Only problem is you would need a tune. But it would be wise to get a tune with the ls6 cam as well.

You will need new pushrods for both cams. The ls6 cam has a smaller base circle so you would need a different size pushrod.
