Do you want a dyno queen or a track proven setup???

Dyno queen:
G5, ANY MMS cam/setup , MTI X1(so far since no real track records available)

Track Proven to kick a$$
GTP "PIG" cam
TR224
fastech F1
ANY split pattern from Thunder Racing

Again all of this is based on my opinion and what I see normally throughout any of the boards, plus my opinion is unbiased and I am not trying to sell you anybodies products...

ps. All of these cams will REALLY shine with a nice set of heads/LS1 edit

I have seen posts about some cams on here claiming 380 RWHP from just the cam swap. That's a gain of upwards of 80 RWHP from a cam? That sounds unbelieveable to me. Are these all top end power cams, that are weaker on the low end? How do they affect daily driving? How's the idle?

Jason99ta on LS1.com and LS1tech.com had all the boltons and the TR224 114 lsa and dynoed over 390 hp.Now I think he has heads also. Those are very good numbers and he went well into the 11's with just a cam and boltons.

Think U Can - Are those Rear Wheel numbers, or Flywheel? Also, was that the A4 or the M6? And how was driveability affected? I would assume the M6 would be more driveable, because the A4 requires a high stall converter to launch like a manual.

Those are rear wheel numbers.Jason's car is an M6.I had the dyno but the site is not working right now.I have a buddy with the same cam and it is completely streetable.He has the 114 lsa and it idles fine. It makes power right up to red line.Jason raised his limiter to 6800 with custom programming.

Think U Can - Thanks.

I am under the impression that a higher LSA generally gives you a smoother idle? The stock cam is close to 120 LSA. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also I saw Comp Cams makes a few cams for the LS1. How do they compare to custom grinds from MTI and LGM? The Comp cams are a lot cheaper but I am not sure about power gains.
