    6.0 lq4 cam decision....

    so i am gonna order my new cam for my lq4 6.0 this week. wanna double check and get some feedback befor i get something i dont want... i want a rough idle and wanna make some real good power.,
    looking on summit racing found a few, also saw comp has a thumpr series and didnt know how those worked???
    duration at 050 was 235 in/249 ext
    lift was 573 in/558 ext
    i have comp valve springs now good to 600 lift so id like to stay right around that. would you guys say thats a good cam or do you have others in mind that make more power?? kinda a newb at this whole building motors so all help would be nice. '
    let me knw what you think and what you are running.
    ALSO wll have a 2800 to 3200 rpm stall converter

    You would need a lot more stall IMO for that cam. It's an odd one too with so much duration and not so much lift.

    We will need a more extensive list of mods and specs on your build. Tire height gearing transmission body style year and expectations are all needed to pick a good cam and converter combo.
