We use a custom grind that has given great results with the MN6 stock head LS2's. If you want more info call the shop: 813-628-0080.

There is no such thing as a "best cam" its like the best restaraunt, what you like I may not. You have to decide what it is you are looking for, a nasty cam, big power, driveablity, stealth. Are you going with heads, turbo, S/C? Once you decide what you want then ask what are the right specs to get that desired result. There's a hundred different designs out there and they all do something a little bit different.

Looks like you already have a cam, why not do heads now?

We have many combinations with a stock head that you could run.

On a 2x cam you could net somewhere between 30-40 RWHP. For a DD this would be your best bet.

You could go a little more aggressive with our 3x and 4x…3x getting you around 10 more RWHP then the 2x and 4x is going to put you around 50-60RWHP.

If your interested just shoot me a pm or call.

Default LG Motorsports Cam

I have a 2008 coupe with Z51 and NPP with LG Motorsports Cam, LG Pro Longtube Headers, K&N intake, and an underdrive pulley. The car has dyno'd at 501 HP and 450 TQ to the rear wheels. The car was very finicky to tune, but once we got it right, the car is a delight to drive. I drive it almost every day to work and it has no problems inching along in traffic. It is a big cam with some getting used to (Noise, shaking, etc...) but it was the best performance bang for the buck.

In my opinion one of the badest sounding cams I've heard on a stock motor w/headers is England Greens Whiplash cam. I don't know all the specs on it but I do know the duration is 240. Maybe someone running one could chime in.

well guys
to be clear
my friend got a c6 ,, and he almost got the same stuff
but my cam was 117 604 584
he wanna know which camshaft can give her a better number then mine
for a stock engine ,, which is he doesnt wanna install any thing after that ,,, \
and for Mr vettealot
the cam is not for me ,,, and i dont wanna buy heads now ,,
cuz i am thinking of running 8psi supercharge
and then after that i can but Crank and biston + the heads
and run the same Supercharge more then 10 psi ,,
so at least i can save money between them
