Hi, I really don't know much about camshafts, or other parts included with them so I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a cam for a future purchase. I have a CORSA catback exhaust and an SLP induction lid. I have just ordered 1 3/4" QTP Long-Tube race version headers, a QTP y-pipe with dual electric cutouts. As far as performance, the rest of the car is stock, nothing done to the engine. What would be a good cam for a car with my specs. I'm looking for a decent sounding idle, somewhat choppy.

-Thanks in advance

I just bought a 2002 LS6 cam, I'm anxious to see how it performs, guys are really loving them apparently. Not a choppy idle at all though, 117 lsa i believe.

A friend just installed the 'C1' (I think that's what it's called) camshaft in his '01 WS6 along with a good set of ported heads. The camshaft is a .566"/222 duration piece with 114 LSA. The cam is a bit choppy (especially with the cut-out open), but very driveable. The car has a very impressive torque curve, mking good power at all engine speeds.
