Best cam to install?
 

I'm restoring my LT1 1997. I will keep engine quite original but want to upgrade to a better cam shaft. Seems to be hard to find. Any suggestions? Please ad links to your suggestions.

Cam choice is based on a lot of factors. There is no best CAM. What is better? better gas mileage? Better 1/4 mile time? Better top end max HP? Better low end torque out of the whole? That is 4 very different CAMs.

you might try one of these from elliotts. then when you want more you wont have to go any farther than the heads.

212/222 .563/.562 114 LSA

218/224 .570/.565 111 LSA

please understand that if you change to a cam with more lift that the stock one you will need to upgrade your valve springs and retainers.

I found that GM hotcam may be perfect. No mods needed and all included in a cam kit. Any idea where to buy this cam kit for best price (and service)? RockAuto doesn't sell the cam. I live in Sweden and have to order from a US webstore.

try jegs.com or summitracing.com

What about this cam kit: COMP CAMS PART #K07-304-8. Is it a better replacement than LT1 hot cam kit? Read more at

What I want from the cam kit is good idle and mid range Power. No need for racing etc.
