04 GTO Cam Choices

[ATF]

I know this is a bit premature but hypothetically if you owned a new GTO right now and you already had a nice set of long tube headers on the way and a full new free-er flowing exhaust system installed waiting for the headers, a CAI of some kind, what cam would you choose if any?

The GTO cam specs are 196/207 degrees duration @.050 and .479/.467 lift with a 116-degree LSA. Now this is a good cam for some low-end grunt given the low duration and high-lift. Since the car is so heavy, would you leave this cam in there? Or what would you choose as a replacement. I'm talking for all around streetability and street performance where you aren't at WOT all the time (most of us :D ).

If it were me, I'd leave the stock cam in there, and just do headers, catback, CAI, new intake (maybe FAST intake?) fatter tires and Q-tec cutouts.

What are you thoughts?

The engine is still the same as the one used in the F-bodies and Vettes, so any cams you hear being discussed for those cars will work just as well in a GTO.

If you want something with excellent street manners with gains all throughout the power band, then you'll want to consider somethig like a 220/220 114LSA cam. MTI's B1 cam would be a good choice.

the GTO cam is the same as the 01+ Fbodies ;)

i agree with mike, 220 114, b1, and add comps 212/218, 216/220 in there as well.

LS6 cam, Kooks longtubes, tuning, 4.10 gears (M6) :yup:

That's just me though :D

The GTO contains a plain ole LS1 in it.

If I had a GTO, I'de put the same cam as I would want in an Fbody, if I had the same roll of $$$ in my wallet.
Im thinking maybe the ASA cam :)
