Lotta stuff to consider. Auto or manual trans, diff. gearing, compression ratio? If you put a lumpy bumpstick in a ride with the wrong gearing, stock torque converter and low compression you could have a dog... Go too big and you could end up with no power until 3-4000 rpm which can get tiring. Probably best to go with a "package" that includes heads, cam, springs, etc. Plus headers, exhaust, intake, yadda, yadda...

It's more about having parts that work together to build power...

I've never done much hot-rodding on EFI stuff but my experience with old carburated stuff is pretty extensive...

what i usually do to my vehicles is just catback/maybe headers,programmer, cai. But with this i would do headers, cam, exhaust, programmer, slp cai. The specs on the cam i would like are anywhere from 525/540. Around that range. Just a mild, but a good lope. Im okay if I lose 5mpg.

Those are lift numbers. Duration numbers are more important and tell more about flow characteristics.. Although you've listed some pretty fair lift #'s..

If this car is a daily driver, don't make the mistake of overdoing it.. You can make a car no fun on the street if you make the wrong decision with a cam..

What does the T/A have for a motor?

my coworker has a LS1 with a heavy cam and headers reprogrammed ecm he dropped it in a older chevy pickup.. Saturday he upgraded gears in rear diff and hooked up lines for nitrogen... he wants to do 150 shot .. hes taking it to track on the 20th to run.. the trying to get in the low 10's possibly high 9's?? i cant make it cuz of work but ill try and see if he gets video and post it up!!

Skip the headache of what will and what will not work and buy a crate motor.

Either crate motor, or a TOP END KIT.... comes with pretty much everything you need.

I'm running Comp XER Lobes with .610 lift, so I might not be the best person to ask. If it's your only car then I wouldn't mess with the cam unless you are willing to deal with the issues that CAN come from modded car.

What did you decide for a cam? I just installed a pretty aggressive cam in my charger.

hers my coworkers truck.. ls1 motor still on legal street tires. he would be faster with drag tires but he wants it as a daily driver. last runs his rear end was messing up if you look on the wheels you can see the limited slip giving out...
