so im ordering a cam on friday... not entirely sure WHICH one i want in my m6 ls2. iv been looking and i think i wanna go big... i dont give a crap about gas milage since i work where i live... i just wanna go fast ha.. i was looking into Texas Speed because a friend of mine has a cammed LS1 camaro and he swears by them... im thinking i want the Magic Stick 4 but i want to know what others have heard about it... any one heard about the numbers it puts down with a tune c/a and cat back??
o well yea.. im getting double valve springs with .660 lift titatium retainers harden pushrods
ill need a little more then that if you put a .660 cam in your car.
I have a Comp custom grind 648/650 lift and went with 928 springs and hardened push rods along with roller rockers and new lifters .. Your profile says your car is stock. If it is stock do yourself a big favor, if you must have a cam . don't go over a 550 lift. The bigger cam will distroy your car, you will have no bottom end at all. you need full headers and cat back before you do a cam. One more thing to look at is how many miles do you have on your car. If you have over 30,000 and want to add a big cam. Plan on investing some money on cam bearings and a new valve train. it does not make much sense to add one NEW major componet to your car when the rest of them have a lot of miles on it
Have you ever had a cam that was so big that it just wasn't streetable? One that you HAD to rev up just to take off? One that made it just hell to maintain the low RPM's required by a parking lot or heavy traffic? Be careful of what you ask for.
I agree stay away from the huge cams unless you're building your car specifically for the drag strip.
I used a Comp Cams XR-275HR cam in my LS2 and it was awesome.
222 / 224 duration and .566 .568" lift on 112° LSA.
