What Cam??

yeah i searched but did not find what i was looking for. I helping a friend and he has no idea what cam he wants. He has the MT1 stage 2 heads, hooker headers, a lid, ls6 intake, also has some 1.65:1 roller rockers that are nsa. He has the T1 cam now but its just tooo small. He wants a cam that idles like my GM 847 in one of my LT1s and wants it to make good hp with those heads. What do you'll suggest?

Re: What Cam??

We've got a few cams he might like. How much larger is he wanting to go? Are the heads milled? What size valves?

I'd suggest a F-13 or F-14 cam from Futral Motorsports. They are on top of the LS1 game right now. Don't believe me? Check out my sig.

Re: What Cam??


why would you want to put a smaller rocker on your engine? ls1s come with 1.7 rockers. and most cams wont allow for larger due to ramp rates.

maybe look into the TSP torquer cam, 233/233 .589" lift....nice loud idle and good power.

but yeah the futral cams are making sick power, even with stock heads. but i've heard they are hell on springs.
