Hey guys I need help deciding on what cam to use. Im dropping a stock LT1 back into my car until I can build the shortblock that I want. I want to go with the biggest cam I can go without affecting drivability too too much. Since Im getting the whole motor complete, I figured might as well put a cam in it. I dont mind getting stiffer springs to handle it, so I plan on changing the lifters and springs with the cam. Think I can go with a 500 lift cam? I will be putting a little bit of nitrous to it as well, but the heads and internals will be stock for the mean time.

 

Read this thread...it's far and away the best camshaft selection guide around. Sounds like you have lots to learn; hopefully this thread will do the trick.
