It's the right mix of style, performance, comfort, mpg, rarity, and whatever else that makes it better than any other car I could afford...

That is why I have both!

It really depends on what they have. I mean most cammed/stalled LS1's fare off pretty well. It just depends on what you run into. Now adding nitrous to a cammed combo like that can get very nasty quick. A buddy of mine had an 02 Z28 with a 3600 stall, 100 shot, 228/231 cam, and 12 bolt with 3.42's I believe. That car was damn quick out of the hole and had a good top-end pull as well! Hell he sold it for a Termi and his car is running low 10's now with DR's and some new heads. Like me though he wanted a car that he could just cruise in and not have to worry about anything but have plenty of power on tap for when felt like using it.

Yeah ok. Wait until you race a few or drive one that has a TS! Then you will know what I am talking about...

What would be a decent cam?

kind of an open ended question
The G5X4 is one option
I'm not an expert on cams or anything, but i've heard nothing but good things about this cam
There are other cams which are a little less aggressive that can get you results
Stall Converter is not optional

Everyone has so much respect for the Terminator Cobras. The blower wind is just bad ass! How come I never see LS1's with a roots/screw type blower on them? Imagine the torque!

Search Dragon Race Engineering and they have a kit that put a Whipple 3.3L under the cowl with no cutting! I want it to be my next kit.

Nice, It looks so much cleaner than putting a procharger on an LS1. 503 hp with 499 trq at only 6 psi is outrageous!

3.3 liter too, its like adding a big Honda engine to your displacement!

Thanks, I was just wondering what it would take to keep up, But there's not a cobra in 60 miles from where I live, but theres always GT's
