Hello all,
During this summer I plan on purchasing either a Shorblock or Bareblock LQ4 and building it myself. I am going to use LS6 heads, which will yield a 1 point higher CP than with the LQ4 heads So my CP would be around a 10.5:1. I have spent hours and hours on this section reviewing cams and hearing what people have to say about each one. I really need some help in this area.
I will be running around a 3K-3500K stall, I also have 3.73 Rear end
I will be using hardened pushrods, 918 springs.
I want a cam that produces great power with daily driveability and I prefer a choppy idle
Anyway, I looked at the ASA cam, really "realiable" cam, but I've heard it just doesn't give enough. The TR220 or 224 looks promising. And others I haven't had time to research are the FM series cam I assume FM 13, 14, and also TSPs selection.
Which cam would you recommend? I just don't want to do a whole motor build up and be like "Man, I wish I went bigger"

Id look at the Thunders 224 112 or maybe a few of their other grinds, TSP's 228/228 .588/.588 112. Just dont go too big. Cubes eat cams. So a cam that sounds alright in an LS1 will be small in a 6.0. But honestly for what you want I think the TR224 would work quite well. Im still teetering between the TR224 and Futrals 228/228. Not sure what Im gonna do yet.

 

Thanks for the info. I will probably run one of these cams.
Thanks!

Trex cam

 

Dude, I want that cam so so bad, Or a magic stick!

But, back to reality

 

I have heads & cam packages that we're putting together for trucks Do you already have the heads? If so I can work you out some cnc work & cam package

 

I don't have anything at this point. Just writing everything down and making a list for this summer. If you could get me a cam with springs and pushrods with LS6 heads ported for under $1,000 I'd be interested. But, I seriousely doubt it, I'm sorry I'm a cheap person on a very tight budget.
