I want to make some more horsepower, thinking of putting in a new cam;

Camshaft Specs: Valve Lift Duration Duration@.050
in: .571" 281º 228º
ex: .571" 281º 228º


SLP Camshaft Kit, LS1, 51013 Cam, Springs, Retainers, Locks.

First, this car is my daily driver, however I dont put many miles on it, and probably wont be my daily driver for long. After putting in a kit like this how driveable is it, will I still pass emissions test. Also, how necessary is putting in a new pair of heads when upgrading your cam. And what kinds a gains should i expect to see after the cam? And also if I go with new heads; SLP CNC-Ported LS6 Cylinder Stage III Heads:

Precision CNC-ported chambers and ports ensure maximum flow, velocity, and swirl.
Manley stainless steel 2.080" intake/1.60" exhaust valves feature a high-performance multi-angle valve job.
Milled 64cc combustion chambers
Heads are assembled with all new hardware, including:
SLP Titanium Valve-Spring Retainers
SLP Dual Valve Springs

When doing this kind of upgrade are there any other upgrades I will need to make, inorder for this upgrade to work?

 

Also what cam do you recommend if looking at driveablity:


Comp Cams Xtreme RPM Cam 212/218 C5441211
G2 G2 Custom Cam 112 LSA, 224/224 Duration, 580/580 Lift G2-112
GM Hot Cam w/ LS6 valve springs 12480033
SLP Camshaft Kit, LS1, 51013 Cam, Springs, Retainers, Locks 51013A

 

this cam
272/280 210/218 .531/.531 112 LSA
VHP 047 cam

great torque gains and good drivability
How many times do I have to tell you? NO DIRECT LINKS TO VENDORS THAT DON'T SUPPORT THIS SITE. (edit by mrr23) my apologies. i forgot about it. BUT, this is only the second time in all my years on this board you have said anything to me about it.

i'll be putting their heads on the wife's car soon.then the cam after.

 

Sissy cam JK

I would go just a little bigger than that. Not necessarily as big as mine though (228-236 over .600 lift)
Somewhere's in the 222-224 degree and .560-.580 lift and 114 LSA should make good power with stock heads or later on with ported heads.

 

it looks tiny. but, acts bigger. VHP used it in their test car. they just stepped up to their THE BOSS" 055 cam. [url]

278/286
216/224
.551/.551 or .600/.600
LSA 113


what roger told me about the two was the 047 was more fun to drive around town. the 055 deifnately improved the horsepower and ET. but not as fun driving everyday.
