Pretty much what the subject said, i disagree but i want some proof, plus is $2,000 good for a cam and install?

2000.00 is way overpriced..

also
Between comp cams, lunati and crane there has to be 30-40ish off the shelf cams.... not to mention the countless combination of custom grinds.. i dont think you could sit down and actually count the different combinations possible..
and yes guys there are way more cams avail. than a thunder 224 or an x1 etc...

your friend is a damn moron

there is no best, it varies so much on setup and use of the car that its impossible to have 1 best cam.. again the combinations are nearly endless

My friend Louis Gigliotti (son of the owner of LG motorsports) just got the new G5X-2 cam....very awsome cam. He used to run the G5X-1. Anyways back to the original question their are alot of cams available for LS1's. I myself since I am on a college student budget and gonna go with the LS1 hotcam kit. Lopes really good with 112lsa

There are a LOT of cams for LS1's, from mild to wild.

I have a Thunder TR220/114 cam (mild) that I really like for a daily driver / weekend warrior.

There are MANY variables, what RPM you are comforatable reving the engine to? Is emissions a concern? What gears you have? How do you want the car to idle? Are you using any power adders(SC, Turbo, N20) down the road. Call a cam company like COMP, they will ask you quesitons and help you determine what cam is best for you application.
