cam/cylinder heads package help - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Bruceleroy · 06-02-2011, 05:00 PM

I just got a '11 2SS Camaro RS last week (L99) and I am ready to purchase upgraded cam/cylinder heads and have no idea what would work good. I have an '06 GTO that had a cam package prior to me purchasing it and I LOVED the "cam shake" and I'm missin' it! :-) I will be adding a ProCharger Supercharger later so I need a set up that will work great with forced air induction. Of course I am getting headers and exhaust as well (Kooks).

Patience please. I've googled and searched and I've run into a wall over and over. Thanks!

Check out our site, we carry some wicked ported LS3/L92 heads that make killer power. With the right cam and supporting mods you will see well north of 500 rwhp. These heads love high lift cams. Check em out. I can give you some cam ideas as well. Are you an auto or stick?

Cams for non-FI anf FI are very different. Either do both at once or plan on needing to put in a different cam later. I'd get the header/exhaust first, save your pennies, and then do the cam/procharger at the same time.

I've got an Auto. Looking for a matching cam as well. I MAY not even go with a supercharger later. Not too sure yet. Drivability is important to as this is my daily driver. Thanks!!

Synner is right on. Decide if you are doing FI as the cam grinds are totally different...and the chamber size of the heads depending on how much boost your targeting.

Give us a call when you get time. We have VVT friendly heads/cam packages for the L99 cars. Our car makes high 400 range power to the tires & runs low 11s at the track.

The VVT-3 & the cnc ported heads exchange is a great option & is very reasonably priced!

The vvt-3 gains approx. 100 flywheel hp, or 80rwhp!!

The ported ls3 head exchange typically goes for about 25rwhp.

Hey Jason, I noticed your cams typically come w/ LSAs in the 111-113 range. I plan on getting a cam down the road (and maybe a PRC head exchange), but I don't want too much "shake, rattle & roll" (a little is fine), as this is my daily driver. If you did one of your grinds with, say, a 114 or 115 LSA, how do you think that would affect the power output and driveability, compared to your normal grinds?

I talked with Jon from Texas Speed earlier today and he's currently working on putting together a package that'll work for me. More to see...
