I'm thinking about buying a cam, and was wondering what you guys would recommend. The only mod I have is a TSP lid, and eventually I'm going to buy a GMMG or make a similar exhaust to the GMMG. I want around 370-380rwhp, but don't want it to be noticeable soundwise. On the gmmginc.net website, there is a black 435hp WS6 on their sound clips section that just sounds unbelievable. What has been done to that car, and what type of cam does it have? Thanks

by the way, i'm getting it installed for $150 !

 

A Z06 cam is about all you'll be able to find that'll be unnoticeable sound wise. That is, unless you get a custom ground cam. Personally, if you were gonna mod the car, I'd wait before getting a cam. Do the other bolt-ons first so that when you do a heads & cam package, you see the full benefits from them.

 

Omega9,

I agree on doing the cam and heads at the same time. Doesn't mean you necessarily have to do all the other bolt-ons first though. With more duration created by the cam, you'll need to flow more fuel, so a modified throttle body or larger diameter throttle body is likely in order to accommodate the cam/lifters.

I received some great info/feedback/expertise from Brian at Texas Speed online, or (806)866-0734. Try contacting them for info on cam/lifter kits as well as compatible heads/induction setups for your '01. Good prices, too.

Have fun; stay safe....

Are you going to be installing headers at the same time?

Brian

 

I'll be installing headers early next year. The guy will install a cam and heads for $300. I do want my WS6 to sound like the one on the GMMG website though. Wish I knew what was done to that car.

 

If you are looking for a stealthy cam and still want to make some nice power, then I would suggest a 222/222, .581"/.581" on a 116LSA.
What heads are you looking into? and headers?

I would call up the sponsors, expalin my goals for the car, and see what they have to say.
