    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.

    FTW=For The Win! haha
    I think one of the Cheater Cam's might suit you well they have "like stock idle" according to the Thunder Racing website.

    Arent you having issues with your motor anyway? Definitely dont add anything until you get that taken care of or figured out. And when youre ready for a cam get one custom spec'd out for your application. Hot cam is a no go for boost. The LS6 cam is frequently used and has given good results, but is not always the best choice.

    FTW stands for "For The Win"

    Speed Inc is its own company.
