WHATS A GOOD CAM TO INSTALL IN MY STOCK LS1 WITH BOLT ONS IM LOOKING FOR A GOOD CAM WITH POWER BUT IM NOT LOOKING FOR A SUPER RACING CAM ITS MY EVERY DAY DRIVER BUT I ALTLEAST WANNA BE IN THE 400 RWHP SECTION I HAVE SOME lS6 HEADS TOO WHAT DO YOU GUYS RECOMMEND AND MY CAR IS A 6 SPEED AND I HAVE 3;90 GEARS

 

TR228 cam

 

that or the F13...

are the ls6 heads stock? although even if they are they would be a benefit over stock castings. but if you're gonna go through the hassle of the head swap...may as well do ported.

 

I would suggest that you turn your caps lock off. Caps are considered to be internet yelling.

 

My buddy made 423 rwhp with his stock LS6 heads, LS6 intake, and a ported TB with the F-14 cam.

The F-13 will bring you there no problem.

 

Good dd cam would be a 228ish 580ish 114ish. You could hit 400rwhp with good bolt-ons and a tune. Don't get hung up on getting the biggest cam availible...

 

were do i get those cams

 

ok found the website what else do you guys recommend as get the cam install stuff like lifters pushrods springs etc.........

 

www.futralmotorsports.com

You have to take the heads off to replace the lifters, so as long as your stock lifters are in good working condition, there's no reason to fool with them.

You'll need a cam package that includes springs, pushrods, retainers, gaskets, etc. You'll also want an LS2 timing set and an LS6 or ported oil pump.

I saw a Vette with Patriot heads, LTs, and a MTI Stealth II cam (224int 220 ex w/116lsa) that put down 416 RWHP. Cam's so mild you can't even tell it's there.

 

The numbers are low on that setup probably because they are using PP heads and stock cubes. Every time I've seen a PP headed 346, they made low numbers. If I had to guess, it's probably because they hog the **** out of the intake runners and kill port velocity, however they do work well on stroker motors as you can see in my car. My heads were measured around 248cc, which are absolutely too large for a stock motor, even though they are the Stage 2 portings with 2.02 valves.

I suspect that you'd get around 430+ out of that same combo with Dart 225s, AFR 205s, and possibly more with Trickflow 13.5* heads.

 

PP stage 2 heads are 227cc IIRC. IMO 416 from a 224/220 grind w/a wide LSA isn't bad.

 

hey i went to the dealer and the ls1 and ls6 oil pump is the same part # recommend any other

 

They were suggesting a ported oil pump. Besides, then they designed the better LS6 oil pump, they probably discontinued the LS1 version (assuming there were two different versions - not 100% sure on that). No sense in have two different oil pumps. It kills the economies of scale for the purchasing department.

TSP 228 or the 224 cam would fit the bill nicely. Stay away from the 918 springs, for now.
