Had the stall for several years before the cam. Yeah for best results a big stall would have helped the car a lot. I did some roll stuff and it was my DD so I never found it to be a problem. That cam had awesome top end, ruined the down low torque though. Car wasn't as much fun around town and I ended up trading it in.

I enjoyed my SS3600. Bought it with plans in future to add heads and cam but I'm glad I sold the car when I did. Miss having a toy but I had no time for it back then. Pretty bad that my dad and a friend probably drove it more than me that summer

Really? Again, I have to disagree with the non-yielding of "impressive results" with "small" cams. You really need to get your hands dirty and read up a little too maybe. All your misinformation is going to catch up with you... Just sayin'...oblique statments. With the setup you have, a cam that requires fly cutting isn't even a viable option for optimal results. Sure it CAN be, but wow lol! I really want to agree with you, but I just can't do it lol.

That is totally wrong. I gained 6 tenths and 5 mile an hour with 323 gears and a small cam. I suggest you do more research. Stock heads are not bad even the 98-99 ones. The cam is where the power is and now days a small cammed nice combo car will dust most donkey dick cams easy. Cant tell you how many trex,polluter cam,MS4 cams run like crap on most LS1s...

i had a variety of cams and different setups in my GTO.... all the different setups taught me.... was the cam is the LAST thing you should do to a car. Sure pretty much any cam yields awesome gains to the LS. But if youre building a proper setup to get the best power through the curve as well as top end gains... you spec the cam last around how your heads/intake flow and how much you plan on reving the car/gearing...etc...

it really all depends... what are you doing with heads? I had a set of ported afr 205 heads paired with a 236/242 cam in it. That setup was strong only when i added a circle d 4000 converter. But the car was fast... especially for something that still had stock gear and an ls6 intake on it. But unless your going 4.10+ gear.... stay away from big cams. And dont give into that big cam hype. Yes my car had the best results with a bigger cam....but it was also a race car...
