Which Cam? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Looking for some help on selecting a cam. I've got a 2015 1LE m6 with TSP 1 7/8 LT's and Cai. Car is weekend/ nice weather only car. Looking at the TSP F-35 cam and the GPI SS4 cam. Hoping to make at least 500 to the tires. Thanks in advance!

Of course you are...

Not gonna get there without trying harder, but either cam will go a long way towards it.

Can’t go wrong with either cam. I’m a little biased to my Tick Polluter Stage 3

GPI cam IMO.

GPI gets my vote! Love mine

boostedlude · 04-07-2021, 07:01 AM

Between those two cams listed, I would go with GPI. To reach 500 wheel, as others have said, will take more than a cam. Good luck, you will love having a cam!

Add ported cylinder heads. I ran the F35 for a while with PTC 260 heads. Ran great.

FBO, SS4, Bo white TB, GPI rod-mod and ported intake and GPI tune in my 13 1LE got me 490 to the wheels so you can get close. My vote is for the SS4

Tarendor · 04-07-2021, 08:49 AM

GPI

Acts2381LE · 04-07-2021, 04:59 PM

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it. Going to have rod mod done as well.

WHAMMO · 04-07-2021, 05:53 PM

Both great for a max effort build. 1LE long ratio's suck BTW. Big down side at the track with a big cam, even on the streets, its not the best with the big 20'' wheels. Look at a FAST 102(overpriced but the 102mm TB is good for some hp). At least get rod mod intake, 102mm TB opening if your shop can do it.

You know what else you should do..... a supercharger.

Acts2381LE · 04-07-2021, 09:51 PM

If I had the extra $$$, a procharger for sure. Goal is at least 500Hp & high 11's to low 12's. Have a K&N cai, but going to buy a rotofab.
Is it worth upgrading cam to 8620? Seems worth it

Black_SS10 · 04-07-2021, 10:32 PM

Add heads to the build for 500hp.
