Best cam for ls3

Hey I'm looking into putting a cam in my Camaro ss and I really like the night fury I was wondering how much does
It run to get all the materials someone saying 1,000 to 2,000 is that about right even with laybor

Cam choices can be difficult, find a reputable tuner and let him know your goals and then make the decision based on sound judgment. My cam+supporting mods with tune was 2100.

Just realized you have an auto, price will be steeper than ls3 guys.

Yeah, but still an auto is more expensive than an M6. I spent about $1500 in parts only and did the installation myself. Really pretty easy with some guidance.

Depending on what supporting mods you get with it, you are looking at anywhere from low $2000's to high $2000's all said and done for cam and install.

If by "best cam for ls3" you mean which makes the most HP, I've seen countless entries on people swearing my the Night Fury as long as you have all the supporting mods. When I get my cam, it's probably going to be the Night Fury.

Did you do an ls3 conversion and not upgrade the cam?

Get with Matt@FSP (Florida Speed and Power) to discuss your options. He's just north of you in Bradenton.
