Re: best factory cam?
i would go with a vs cam, it has the same lsa as our stock cam so it doesnt have that loopy idle and im pretty sure it likes FI

Re: best factory cam?
with the vs cam and 1.8 rockers you would have ~ .567 total lift which i think is way too much lift for stock heads.
why are you set on having rockers?
Most of the time rockers are an alternative to doing a cam, so if you are doing a cam i dont see the need for rockersLast edited by Meatyshells; 09-17-2008, 12:04 PM.

Re: best factory cam?
oh, ok so you are doing rockers and want to know if a different stock cam would work, gotcha.
answer, both l36 and l37 cams are the same :)

Re: best factory cam?
No sound clip, sound clips are useless becasuse they never sound like the real thing.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Re: best factory cam?
Why would you opt to do rockers if time and money aren't a concern for the cam?

Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
