Cam Suggestion

[CorbinWelter]

Ok, im new here, and ive had my camaro for about maybe half a year, and ive decided to keep it and tune it instead of going to a v8 camaro. I am looking at the SLP 1.8 roller rockers, and i think im going to order them. What would be the best cam to install for them? i may spray later on in the year when i get the money to buy nitrious. I am ordering the SLP loud mouth exhaust, and i have the free ram air mod, and removed MAF screen if that helps any.

i used to have a 68 camaro, built into a drag car, and it had a huge cam, and a big lope, so it would idle really slow and bounce the car. is there anyway to make my v6 idle slow kinda like that with a cam?

[BLLDOGG]

if you want it to sound like a cammed 68 camaro, record your 68 and play it when you drive down the road.

If you want a cam, don't get those rocker arms. They would have way too much lift at the valves with most cams. Stick with the stock rockers and get a good nitrous cam.

[CorbinWelter]

what would you guys do, cam or rockers?

[Turbo V6 Camaro]

rockers only give more lift

cam will make the car sound change because you can use different lobes and such

[CorbinWelter]

hmmm, well i think i want a cam then, but i would want the most lobe possible, but still good power and stuff for everything else im adding and for the strip

[CorbinWelter]

theres 4 diffrent cams at full throttle performance for my car, i have no idea which one is best for what i want. im new to cams and such, so i have no idea what to look for, do anybody have a good idea of which one i would want?

Get the GT2 cam from ZZP it will give you the sound you're looking for it's 216/216. with .507/.507 lift a 111 lsa and a 107 ic.

[nightrida]

yes get the gt2. i already have it. and with a good open exhaust the lope is very noticable.

If you want the most aggresive cam....

INTENSE stage 2 N/A cam. :D :D

That's my favorite grind for the 3800 engine.. ;) However it would require serious headwork and major tuning, possibly even a dyno tune to get optimal horsepower.

[CorbinWelter]

ok im going to buy the GT2 cam, but would i need to buy new striffer springs and pushrods and retainers?

[nightrida]

yes. i have ls6 springs and retainers and hardened pushrods by Manley. all of this is availble at Texas Speed & Performance. you will also need tuning which is my next step very soon.

[nightrida]

check the for sale section matt is selling his ls6 springs and retainers.
