    It depends what you want. Personally I think either would look good on your car (the C6s or your current wheels) but if you have performance mods in mind then I would take the cash. Don't let the fender rolling deter you though, guys do it all the time and the results look near stock.

        personally i would keep the c6s. they look amazing on your car. and youll pay more for a set of rims and tires down the road when you want to ditch the salad shooters

              What about this cam? Would it work with what i want to do? Or should i stick with the 230/236 110lsa?

                I think the one on LTXtech will move your power curve into slightly lower revs. but I'm not sure. Basing on what I've read today longer duration moves the power up high because the intake valve opens sooner and closes later, polluting the charge with exhaust gases and keeping the cylinder from pressurizing on the compression stroke while it is still open.

                Used to own a Firebird.

                  Nick,

                  I actually changed my mind about the LSA - I saw your screen name before and assumed you had an M6 so I kind of steered you in the wrong direction there. I dont think i would go with a tight LSA on a cam over 230 duration. Too much overlap wont be fun with an automatic which is designed to keep the revs low under normal conditions. I actually think that LE2 cam could be a monster with an automatic though. do some searching about it on camaroz28.com, lots of information about that cam is out there.

                  and holy crap youve got that thing low!

                    Yea lol she is but i think im gonna go back to stock springs because i think with the power it will be putting down it will be bottoming out the rear end alot lol

                    And as for the gearshiftingfun i used to own a mustang vert. 5 speed v6 and i signed up for the forum before i was able to sell it and buy a camaro.

                    And i will look into that cam. So that size cam would be good for low end and the 109lsa would be streetable?

                      That cam has roughly 8.5 degrees of overlap. My cam on a 110 lsa has about 10 degrees, so yea that should be very streetable. Might even be just a wee bit on the small side for ya, but LE cams run pretty good. A tight LSA will make the very low RPM range pretty weak, it will probably be a dud under 1500 RPM but wake up very fast above that.

                      My car starts to pull pretty good by 2250 rpm with my cam.

                      For comparison a GM847 on a 112 has 14 degrees.

                          either Lloyd hasnt been consistent with his cam specs (and those are way off) or someone has bad information.

                          but honestly, it would be a good idea to give lloyd elliot or advanced induction a call to discuss your goals, they can give you the best advice of anybody.

                              just cause you call doesnt mean you have to buy something from them send an email if that works better for ya. nothing wrong with running a used cam as long as it checks out ok.
