Default Time to get serious about cam choice, Santa's coming

i have no excuses now.... nothing much is left for bolt ons so lets talk internals!!!! it is time for a cam.... now i suppose I'm planning on a 3000 stall... i want the cam to be streatable but honestly.. who gives a **** as long as its fun.... i want people to know when i fire it up that its a cam... but doesn't have to be extreme.. just a nice loop to it.... budget doesn't matter.. I'm not cutting corners on this..... so let me know

Thanks

LES

Here you go.....http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=169&catid=44, it would have a nice choppy idle in just a 6.0l and has a range of 6500-6700. Cam makes good power from about 2800 and up. Here is an idle clip of this cam in a 408.....

great cam IMO. thats what i plan on running in my ls1. heard the 224/224 on a 114 lsa in a lq4 6.0 and it was tame to say the least(still a strong running truck). 226/226 on a 112 will get you some lope for sure and should be drivable with a 3200 stall

I would also say a 226/226 on a 112lsa, that's what ima be going with, I think a 3000 stall should be just enough for it
