ok i know this is not reguarding a truck but it is for my car, which is an 02 ls1 camaro with a 40k mile ls1 bone stock with supporting bolt ons( 4.10 gears, kooks 1 3/4 lts with magnaflow cat, fipk, built t 56, ls6 intake and tr55 plugs, air system delete and yeah all bolt ons)

it is my DD and it has to be 100 percent reliable . and i think im just addicted to modding and adding power. it runs great as is and im pretty happy with it but i always want a lil more and i know i can pick up a good 50+ rwhp and my goal is 400+ rwhp and i know heads would help but they can be easily done at a later date.

the cam im looking into is a custom cam by pat g on tech. its a 22x/23x 60x/60x on 111 lsa. i want it to sound down right routy . which looking at specs it will . especially with a cutout.

im going to change the spirngs to patriot gold's . possibly extremes. ls2 chain ported oul pump and 42lb injectors mayne 38's since i have a set.

im just wondering how reliable i can keep this , spinning a bearing is my worst enemy . which i know is unpredicatable. but i want techinical reasons why i should ro shouldnt do this.

this cam isnt huge by todays standard but not small at all.

i was also looking at a 224/224 tr 112 cam which is proven but will make slightly less power.

so let the discussion begin.

 

That 224/224 on a 112 will provide a decent dd while putting plenty of power down. However dont forget anything that is run up to 6500+RPM often wont hold up forever on stock internals, other than what you have mentioned. It all depends on how often you want to drive it, if it was me I've always thought bigger is better, but now Im noticing that is not the case all the time. I would maybe keep it on the conservitive side and go with something close to the 224/224. Just my .02

 

I think that cam would be too rowdy for DD duties you know? A big cam in a 6 speed blows!! If it hard to pull away from a dead stop. Atleast mine was with 3.42s although the 4.11s should help you out. I would go a little smaller if it were me

 

I think it can be easily done, nice car(from the pics in the other thread. There was a bit of debate over the LS2 chain
This was on a heads, cam c6 vette.

 

sounds like a good cam, but you wont benefit nothing with that high lift and stock LS1 heads... but it will give you the chop sound that you want...... but in other words, go for it cause i like the chop sound also!! lol...
