Best ls3 m6 cam?
08 M6 car. Has kooks 1 7/8 longtubes, slp exhaust (no cats), and callaway honker intake. Looking for the best cam for drag racing, big cams dont bother me as i have had alot in the past, im looking to keep stock rear gear and just go cam only for right now. Not wanting to do any slicks just a drag radial car that will see some track time. Looking for a 10 sec pass! any opinions?

Having a hard time seeing how a 1.72 60' and 126mph trap equal a 10 sec slip...OP are you willing to flycut the pistons?

How do these cams compare to the one in the LS376 Crate Motor, "Hot Cam".

G6X3 from LG motorsports is a drag cam thats proven. Expect 500rwhp and 10.6-10.8's if you can drive.

Not just used for drag racing but it has proven itself in drag racing and road racing.
Most cars fall in the 480-495 rwhp range. All of the bolt on's and the cars will push 490-505 rwhp.
Little bit of head work and the have seen well over 515 rwhp.

An
11.17@122 run in my c5z was on 1.58...FWIW in a c6z I ran a
10.91@130 on a 1.71, that's why it had me wondering.
