Default Cam Only Help...................................

I have a 97 coupe with Dynotech long tubes with no mufflers or cats and a Halltech Stinger along with a ported TB........ ( and T1 suspension for DEs with CCW Road Race package)
I dont do any drag racing but I need more HP for the DEs

I was about to drop 8K on the LS2 402 stroker, but changed my mind..

I stock Ls1 block only got 50K on it and still runs strong....

I dont wanna do HEAD/CAM but was thinking about getting just the CAM until the motor dies and then get the LS2 Long block

Which CAM do you guys recommend and how much should I pay for the install with TUNING

ALL i want is 380 To the REAR WHEELS

thanks a lot

It looks from your sig that emissions are not a pressing concern right now, you have a M6, and have 3.90 gears I would start your research here Cam Guide

Then you have to decide what type of idle you want, where you want your power band to be, etc...

Cams can vary in price from vendor to vendor but many people like this kit who have similar cars to you LG Cams Kits Look at the G5-X2 or X3. This is a complete kit that will give you all the majors you need. You may want to go a head and purchase a better timing chain, an upgraded oil pump, and a underdrive pulley since it will not cost any additional labor.

Figure around another $1000 or so for install and tune, local results may vary

Good luck
