my buddys 04 with a LPE GT2-3 put down 368 to the wheels with just the cam and longtubes. It's a fantastic street cam, on a stock stall too.

We can offer you a great streetable cam for your car. Our level 1 or level 2 depending on how streetable you want it to be will make great power without huge sacrifice in mpg or drivability. We can also offer all the supporting items that you will need to change as well. PM me for details.

Please, contact the vendors who are in the business of selling cams, like those to the right>>>. Do not pick a cam by internet vote, that is crazy. If you get your choices down between 2 or 3, then look for some input. But asking a bunch of strangers to pick a cam for you is not going to be to your benefit.

Fitted a CompCam 235 243 .621" .624" 113 to friends manual 2005 HSV GTO.

Drives surprisingly well for a big cam.

Managed 12.20 on drag radials and 12.5 on 19" street tyres.

I really love my torquer v2. It made some awesome power with supporting mods. Car put down 415whp on a 99 degree day. I am assuming it would have been a little better had it been 75 degrees. Anyway, this thing drives awesome on the street. I DD the car except in the winter or bad weather. Now I have a truck, the car doesn't really get driven until weekends. No bucking, or idle surge problems. Car idles around 880-900rpms depending on how hot it is. But other than that it is sweet. This cam makes power quite a ways up! Pulls strong. Pretty good for a 5.7 I would say.

I just got my torquer v2 done (232)...dont go to small or you may want to upgrade in the future.

See, this is my point. When you select a cam by internet vote you get all kinds of cams and specs thrown at you, but none of us know what you are looking for or how much you understand about how a cam works. If there was a perfect cam we'd all be using it. Ask the people who sell cams for a living, they will ask you all the necessary questions to help you determine which is the best cam for you. The right cam is a blast, the wrong one is an expensive pain in the ***.

i daily drive it with zero issues.

i 2nd to call a builder / vendor and talk through what you want your
car to be. thats the only realy way to pick a cam out.

Call Brian BTR, Martin @Tick Performance, or Kip at Cam Motion. All extremely helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable on camshaft design.

Flowtech Induction did a great job on my cam, too. I have no problems recommending Ed Curtis: he takes your mods, goals, and budget into consideration. You can't call him, but he does respond timely to emails. As others have said, though, take the time to talk to a few vendors and get it right.

IMHO don't pick a cam by idle sound or internet vote as sound is usually the inverse of drive-ability and most only have experience with one or two cams. Ed at Flowtech Induction designs cams, has kick-*** ones and has been a great help to me over the years. You fill out his form what you can as to goals, use and mods and he'll get back to you with recommendations.

This.

I've run two Flowtech cams...very satisfied with both.

I suspect you need a custom-ground Street-Sweeper-HT. Torque everywhere. Easy to tune and drive.
