  • Which cam is right for my setup?

    My mods are in the sig and 3.42's and lsd are getting put in very soon. Now its on to valvetrain. I am going to get ported heads but i am unsure on which cam. I do alot of highway driving so i need some gas mileage. I am deciding between the gt stage 1, gt stage 2, and the comp vs cam. I dont know which one is best. Not sure if i will get ported and polished intake or not. But with the ported heads and still needing some gas mileage which of those cams are best for me? Or is there another one thats better?

    Custom cam. i have the gt2 and i still get over 30 mpg on the highway. but you will need tuning to get the best results from this cam.you will need a 97 pcm for tuning. gas mileage isnt the question. how aggresive do you want the car and how much power are you trying to make. Call TSP and keep researching.

      Nightrida - any idea on how much horsepower the gt2 gave you at the wheels?

          No not planning on any forced induction. I want it to stay all natural.

                it gave me 20 rwhp. i went from 165rwhp to 185rwhp.i have an automatic.

                tsp installed ls6 valvesprings and retainer and manley hardened pushrods also. you will need all of these plus lifters.
