Default Heads and cam

What is everyone using for heads and cam on their LT1's? Have been looking at Texas Speed myself. But i have not made a decision yet. This will also be on a car with a procharger as well.

Might avoid just a generic stage 1,2, or 3 cam. You might want to search for a centrifugal blower specific cam. I know Weapon X sells one and might even check with Juiced Motorsports as they are in IL as well.

check out late model engines, there stock ported heads are sweet, a fair price. They can spec cams also...

We do all of our cams custom spec for each build. Jayson been doing it longer than anyone just about. We would be happy to spec you a custom cam for your build. Jayson's cam profiles are second to none.

Want to get rid of the eco cylinder shut off. Work with my 8 speed auto. Get some good chop chop V8 noise. And make power with the procharger. LOL I'm sure not asking for much. So basically the unicorn cam.

Jason from MTI here in Houston specked a cam for me when he was doing my build. I told him what horsepower I was trying to achieve and I wanted to be able to use the car as a daily driver. Jayson came thru for me! Not a radical idle but with my setup achieved 860 RWHP. I could not be happier! You cant go wrong with MTI!

That is good to hear. Billy has been great with my countless questions. And has gotten my business and will continue into the future as well. The c7 and LT 1 is all new to me and I have had many questions.
