Which Cam package and stall for SCSB 2000 chevy w/ LQ9 engine
working on saving for my next upgrade which will be electric fans, cam, lifters, roller rockers, and a stall. I already have long tube headers (no cats), air intake, custom tune. Question is i am new to cams and such but from what I have heard the size of the torq converter will tell you what type of cam to get (could be wrong). Just wanting opinions on size, setup, anything addition you installed along with cam. thanks

How do you use your truck? Most of my customers are daily drivers/weekend warriors that see the track occasionally, so we are looking to make packages that will drive nicely during the week but also lay it down at the track when need be. For most of these people we suggest a 3000-3200 stall, either Circle D or Yank. That size is a nice compromise, it drives nice without feeling too soggy, but will also leave the line very hard. Gives you room to run a pretty decent sized cam also.
For cam specs, there is a lot to it. Do you like a smooth idle or a choppy idle? The rest of the mods will determine how large you can go also (manifolds vs. headers, stall, etc). Also whether you want it to drive like stock, or are willing to give up some driveability to make really serious numbers.
We have a lot of great cams on our website if you want to check them out. Our Rob Style cam is probably our most popular medium sized cam. Nice lope to it, excellent driveability, and great performance. Needs headers but can run on stock stall. Then we have our Attitude and Attitude V2 cams - they are larger and will make more power, but still have nice driveability. The attitude V2 is the bottom end record holder in an LS2 btw so it works excellent. There's quite a few vids on youtube if you want to check them out, and the specs are listed on our site.
Feel free to give us a call if you need help. We can get you the whole package including springs, pushrods, etc, and we also make electric fan kits, and much more.

It's not that one necessarily determines the other, but they do both have to be considered. For instance with a 3600 stall you could run just about any cam you wanted to, but that doesn't mean you want to go and put the biggest, nastiest thing in there.
