Just for something to hear, this is my old setup, 224/230 114LSA 608/612 with a full XForce exhaust. I've since changed to a custom Sureflo exhaust, still have the same cam but now have a blower on (still sounds similar).

A 232/234 comp cam at 112 lsa would suit your needs well or go a bit bigger with 237/241 etc would need 4200 stally to get the most out of it.

wikky, was that your car i went in at chevs not long before christmas time? if this is the same car then this is a very nice cam and drives well, plus leaves you with the option of forced induction later on or if not then 110 or 112 is the go from what iv heard, HRT666 its a manual, don't think he'll need the stally :D

i'm looking at a simmilar cam to wikky's should really get down to chevs and talk to him, been flat out on saturdays and haven't had a chance, hopefully this or next saturday i will get down there.

Yeah mate, that would've been me who took you for a spin (happy to do so too).

At the top end of the spectrum, pretty much the largest cam you can go in an LS1 (without fly cutting the pistons) is the Comp 242/248. But this cam needs to be tuned by someone who knows what they're doing, no margin for error. I know of a ute which had this cam and it was driven pretty much daily.
Best idea to hear different cams would be jump on YouTube.

Below is a vid of a GM Turbo Killer cam. Google it for more info.

Just remember a big stick will never work realy good until you up the static compression and start working the heads.
A smaller cam will go just as quick if not quicker then wacking in a large cam with stock heads.

Hence a 232/234 would be about the most you should think about unless you wanna spend the bucks on heads as well.
