Cam Advice Needed!
OK, looking to finish up the H/C/I swap......trying to figure out what would be the best cam to get max amount of power to the wheels...streetability can suffer a hair as its not driven all year round....here is what it will consist of
*02 ZO6 6spd
*Stock bottom
*AFR 205's 64cc (Valve springs will be upgraded to daul springs)
*FAST 90mm intake
*LG 90 mm TB
*Granatelli cold air tune mass air OR Stock mass air....not sure which will best tuning wise
*SLP pulley
*MSD coil packs
*LT's no cats, Magnaflow straight throughs straight over axle
*160 stat
*Raptor intake tube and filter
*Ram Dual disc clutch
(also would stock valvetrain work, or just upgrade the lifters and rocker arms as well? 1.7's or 1.85's?)
On stock set up (even the stock air filter) with just the LT's and full exhaust, and tuned put down 359rwhp 335rwtq on a Mustang dyno.
Was thinking of getting the LG G5X3 or seeing if if they can do a custom one for a little more out of it.....
All serious replies greatly taken!

Why do you want to upgrade the rockers and lifters? Not needed unless you just want to.
X3 is a good cam, but LOTS of others out there. Too many to list though. If you get the X3, get it on a 112, it will be roudy as fock.

He has built a number of LSx motors with AFr heads and other cams. He is an authority on putting together AFR heads/cam packages.

I have a Cartek M Cam now (old style 218/222) and will be switching to a Magic Stick 4 with 921's. I have been in a 10-12 other H/C C5's as of late (with everything from a GM Hot Cam to a T-Rex) and that MS4 is the real frickin' deal. Holy Crap....

Yea it should be a fun little cam to get me going til next year. Then go with a stroked bottom and bigger heads to get that little more power and put the boost to it.....Want something more out of it but nothign to radical, it still has 28k miles to boot yet....

What kind of heads are you running? Or did you just upgrade the valve train to run that cam and cut the pistons?
