The one that meets you specific needs regading the way the car is used.

What are your requirements for driveability? Do you want a top end cam for the track, strong low end torque for the street, a blend o both? What other mods have been done to the engine? Do you have to meet emissions testing?

A Futral Motorsports F13 is the pretty much tried/true cam for the LS1 -- tons of power with great driveability --- 230/232 duration @ .050" along with close to .600 lift and drives like a baby.

The car has 130k and i am pulling the the motor and rering the motor. the heads are stock but i have a custom true dual exhausts with long tube headers and free flowing cats to two flow master mufflers. the pipes coming out on the center of the car on both sides. I do have a diablo power programer. it also has all egr cut out and o2 disconected. i also put a detroit true track full rear end with 3:73 gears it als:think has new racing built trans and ram street and strip clutch and after market clutch master. i have a budget of about 2300$ but 500 is gone to the guy that is going to do all the work and i know how much is going to the mech. shop for the heads thats a other thing do i just get the heads cleaned up or change the springs or what. I do drive it daily and it does have working a/c. but i want to make so power and not give up to much daily driveing i do want it to lope but not almost stall out. so what can you all suggest.
