zo6 cam or ???? This week im looking for a good FI cam and i have seen good numbers from you guys that use the ZO6 cam. as of now i have a MS4 and its not going to work for what i want. i was thinking of going with the lingenfelter FI cam or the epp FI cam being that i can just drop buy and pick one up.
where are you guys buying your cams from ?
I'm looking looking forward to starting my build thread with my 2002 ceta thanks in advance for any reply's.

what is the setup on the car going to be turbo or blower?
turbo and blower cars do not like the same specs so much. but thats just me if you want cheap the ZO6 cam worked great for me ( see my sig). but if you are going to spend the money just call up comp cams or a good builder to spec you one out for your combo for the best results. thats what i would do

as far as the cam this is what im looking at as of today 04 z06 cam, ls9 zr1 cam, or lingenfelter off the shelf cam i know if i use the ls9 cam i will have to change the timing cover and extend the cam sensor wires i already have a ls2 chain in the car question is if i decide on the ls9 cam do i need to change the cam gear as well when switching out the cover?

Single turbo is what is in the works i have had this PTK kit and I'm sick of looking at it. I started pulling off the headers and y pipe Sunday going to start messing with the car this weekend.
as far as the cam this is what im looking at as of today 04 z06 cam, ls9 zr1 cam, or lingenfelter off the shelf cam i know if i use the ls9 cam i will have to change the timing cover and extend the cam sensor wires i already have a ls2 chain in the car question is if i decide on the ls9 cam do i need to change the cam gear as well when switching out the cover?

next issue will my springs work they are patriot 660 springs when changing the cam i planed to use cts-v race lifters and reuse my comp push rods but im wondering if that spring is to much for that lil cam.
these springs, cam and the rest of the top end have around 3000 miles on them.

ok ls7 lifters eh well your right they are way way cheaper for sure but what is different from cts-v race to the ls7 lifters ? I would think the cts-v r lifters would handle high rpm and higher lift being there used in there road race program i would think better oiling as well ? i could be wrong here.
and thanks for the heads up on the springs tomz28

I can see how power band would be a issue. i would like to see some dyno sheets with each cam on boost. As of now i know for a fact ls9 is not a option for me being i don't want to convert to a ls2 cover. being i only have about a week to do this project with the cam and lifter swap.

I'm giving it a try, I just looked up a couple of ZR1 Dyno sheets, and then I remembered that I'm not building a dedicated race car, so the quieter the better (unless I open the cut outs)
