Need help LS1 cam

**STLz2000** · 05-25-2009, 07:28 PM

I am just getting into the inside of the LS1 in my Z. I got the longtube headers, corsa exhaust and wanting to start to go inside the block. What do you think would be the best cam for perfomance all around?

**c5z28** · 05-25-2009, 07:30 PM

It pertains to your goals. Is this a street car, track car? Where do you want the power to be and how much at the wheels do you want?

**c5z28** · 05-25-2009, 07:32 PM

also when you do the cam then you really should change the lifters, pushrods, valve spring(have to), oil pump, and timing chain. Also how many miles are on it, and a manifold would optimize the cam but, you don't have to-key words...

i would like it to be a street car that will make it down the track in 11s soon. i know that i am goin to have to change all of that. i might have to change the fuel pump. but that is a big mayb

the best thing you can do is call some places thet sell cams like comp and texas speed and talk to the tech department and they will get you what you need.

Your running 12.5 now, do you have drag radials?

**STLz2000** · 05-25-2009, 08:14 PM

yep i have 10.5 drag radials. it helps a lot on the 60 time

Damn good times I guess you have an m6 then? what is your trap speed?

**STLz2000** · 05-25-2009, 08:23 PM

im not sure since i got a new rear end in the car over winter

**STLz2000** · 05-25-2009, 08:28 PM

i also have a short throw shifter. the new rear end is ford 9' with 4.30 gears if i remember

**c5z28** · 05-25-2009, 08:39 PM

Oh damn your just slicks and a cam or nitrous shot away then. I have seen the reverse split 230/224 get bottom 12's with great torque. The 228R is a great cam( sort of your biggest mild cam). Next time list all your mods I thought you had the 10 bolt and was going to wish you good luck

228R from TSP

**STLz2000** · 05-25-2009, 08:42 PM

o ahahaha. ya idk i think if i took it down to the track again this time i would run 12.4 since i couldnt go as high up on the RPM for the take off. i was afraid of snapping the rear end. even though we had stablizers on the 10 bolt
