    Should I cam my new LQ9 crate engine ?

    Just like the title says....but i run a turbo soo any help and thoughts would be awesome and should i re-use my GMPP hot cam or go with a Z06 cam, or should i think out side outside of the box and head to aftermarket companies like TSP etc..... I like factory junk. It does what it says it will do. Besides who makes better parts then the factory race division

    226/230 ftw! If you got money and want power....
    Or go z06 and stay on a cheap budget.
    As for the hot cam I'm not familiar with the specs.

    I have a new Z06 Cam in the tube, and a Hot Cam, the Hot cam is .525/.525 but a rought idle that negitively impacts the the driving characteristics of the truck at slow speeds with my old 5.3 and 3k stall, and 3.73's but i HATE!!!! idle surge it drives me to 9 grand.... but i do miss the nice idle....and what company is FTW ? thanks
