If all goes well and as planned like it has so far ill be sitting in my garage this friday staring at a brand new 04 LQ9 as the fedex guy kicks it off his truck. Before dropping it into my 99 scsb 5-speed, i want to swap cams for something with a nice low and mid range pull, doesnt have to have a crazy lope but if it does thats fine. it should really have a very usable RPM range and great power under the curve in a N/A 6.0L that will have pacesetter longtube headers and a Nelson Custom Tune. Knowledgable suggestions would be really appreciated! I know there is alot of it going around this Forum.

 

hey nice setup,im looking for a nice LQ9 cam as well and im thinking of lingenfelters 222/222 566 566 116.5 it looks like a great all around cam. of course one of our sponsers could cut this for you.

 

Take a look at this:

A 210º/218º is pretty good for low-end grunt, for upper RPM power without killing the bottom too badly try a 224º/230º

 

I went the other way, TR230/224 here. Still has good low end power and plenty up top too.

 

lpe gt2-5 someone has one for sale on here cheap and that cam would be perfect for you.

 

i was the one that had the GT2-5 for sale .it was 222/222 .566/.566 112lsa sold it for like 200 bucks

i run a LQ9 shortblock. i run the TSP TV2 232/234 .595/.598 112 drives solid like the 5.3 does in town but above 4k is when you noticed it more. power range is decent to but im also LS6 intake along with other thigs

 

mason110 also has the same cam for sale

 

bein that i just did a SPEC stage 2+ clutch wich im quite fond of at the moment im leaning towards something wicked like a A TReX (242º/248º .608/.612 110lsa) with a second NV3500 bein built!...hows everyone feelin about this? Nelson Performance can handle tuning for this cam cant he?

 

I thought you were looking for a usable rpm mid range cam?

 

til tomorrow when i make a decision, im looking!.. and all options are on the table! Drivability is more of an issue among folks with an automatic xmsn and less of a factor for 5/6 speeders so theres a chance ill go with something a tad extreme for the 6 month time period i plan on having the cam in while im saving for the radix setup.
