Please help with cam choice
2016 Stingray. I've done Kooks long tube headers w/× pipe. Halltech CAI and Borla s Type axle back. Car is getting a cam and DSX flex fuel conversion. It will be mostly driven on the street with a trip or 2 to the track. I want a good street mannered cam, which makes power across the rpm band. Please recommend some cam spec's, or manufacturer's. Thank you.

Cam
Katech torquer cam, Lingenfelter gt35, cam motion has a bunch of cams or they can spec you one. You can also call Cordes or MTI and they can spec you one. BTR also has some good cams and Texas Speed

I would do the TSP cam. I just went through the cam install on my 15 Stingray. Did a BTR stage 2 with phaser lockout. Lost 40 ftlb of torque acorss the board and gained only 20 whp from 5500-6500. Totally not worth the effort. I also would not do the phaser lockout unless you are really trying to run a huge cam and make big power up top.

Hah, yes. Been around the block a few times and have built several 1000+ hp LS engines.

Our LT2.5 cam is a great all around cam for the LT platform. It is a great balance between power and drivability. Works well with stock converters. Monday i will be uploading a video of multiple cars running it on our YouTube. I will link it here tomorrow.
