LS2 Cam Suggestion
Hi!
I have a 2006 LS2 Z51 C6 and I need some advice on a cam that will make good power in the lower RPMs since I don't want to end up "Overcamming" this engine. I do want a nice lobey sound out of it so sticking to lower LSAs. Not into drag racing the car but do a lot of spirited pulls while I'm out and about. I do plan to autocross the car maybe once or twice a year too. I would like to shift no higher than 6500-6600 or whatever is safest for this LS2 stock bottom end. The car has 52,000 miles on it. No plans on boost, want to keep the car reliable and in an acceptable power range for the stock bottom end.
Mods are currently: TSP 1 7/8 headers, TSP X-pipe, Vararam CAI, and stock 3.42 gears. Might do heads and possibly FAST, but that wont be for along time.
Stuck on the cam decision, but narrowed it down to a few cams:
BTR LS1/LS2 STAGE 3 NA CAMSHAFT
-Specs: 231/242 .617"/.592" 112+2
BTR Ls1/LS2 STAGE 2 NA CAMSHAFT
-Specs: 227/234 .614"/.576" 113+2
Tick Performance "SNS" torqueMAX Stage 2 V2 Camshaft for LS2 Engines
-Standard Lobes: 231/235 | .625"/.605" | LSA111+2
TSP 228R 112 LSA Camshaft
TSP Torquer V2
-232/234.600"/.600" 112 LSA
I talked to BTR and they told me to run their Stage 3 cam but I feel it might want to be revved out pretty far. Tick just said their TorqueMax wasn't much different than the BTR Stage 2. I've never owned a cammed car before and while a huge cam would sound great, I feel like it would get annoying after the initial joy went away. I'm leaning towards the Tick TorqueMax 231/235 .625"/.605 and the TSP Torquer 232/234.600"/.600" but not sure how all of these different lifts play into the choice of a cam. The 228R seems like a proven cam for all around power.
Any cam I choose with have supporting parts such as: C5-R Timing Chain, Brass Trunion Kit, Melling high volume oil pump, BTR .660 dual springs w/ steal retainers, hardened push rods, Powerbond SFI Balancer.
