Cam Suggestions???
I am looking to put a new cam into my LG4, but can't come to decision on which one to get. I am looking for a good amount of low-end torque, and a mild idle. I am going to put a dual exhaust system on my car, and I have a new Weiand stealth intake to put on once I get the cam in. I am looking at Competition Cams and Lunati right now, but I am willing to look at anything.

i'd say a good choice would be comp cam's no. 12-231-2. it has a 111 lobe separation with 206 and 214 at .050 duration. lift is .432 and .453 lift with 1.5 ratio rockers.

Zippy's suggestion is a good one. That or one close to it (there are dozens) would do you well.

Yep, you can take your ergonomically designed, space age, computer controlled, 4 door, cup holding map lighted split double wishbone split fold down retractable cargo covered moon roof piece of transportation and keep it. For I have felt the thunder. And I know the difference!"

224* of duration for an LG4????? That would be just a bit extreme, even for some L98s. I agree with the suggestion Zippy made. If you want some more upper RPM power you can look into some 1.6 rockers for that cam, at least on the exhaust side.
