Default Which Cam??

Sorry just another "which cam thread" Ive done some research on some of these cams & still am deciding... I have a 01 M6 Z28. Pretty much stock right now but over the summer & next year, some REAL mods are going in! I use my car as a DD but don't mind the loudness or lope. & will be going to track more often & of course taking out Mustangs that dare challenge.. Looking for something that puts down some serious numbers. I will be supporting the cam with some long tube headers, true dual exhaust, gears, stock LS6 or Fast intake, & I'm hoping for some heads. Let me know what you guys think or personal experience. Hp numbers, track times, drive ability, etc....

Kind of leaning towards a Vindicator, T-Rex, or MS4

G5X3. Made 403rwhp (corrected 99%) with that cam, exhaust, lid, and LS6 intake. Made 414 (corrected 98%) with the same setup except ported FAST92. Now same setup + AFR 205s....??? Haven't dyno tuned it yet.

something that gets u out of mid 13s would be good.

ms4 sounds legit, but u could always spec out ur own cam or have ur tuner do it to ur needs/goals

I went with a torquer 2 cam in my new 6.0 motor, stock 317 heads, Kooks, pulley, ported TB, LS6 intake, 3600 stall and a lid. I debated about going with a larger cam, but I wanted to be able to drive my car to work in traffic if I wanted to. I hope to have my car dynoe tuned in the next few months, hoping for 400 RWHP.

F14 FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 232"/234" .646"/.612" 112LSA - aggressive profile with a 2600-7000 RPM range, rough idle

Or you could go with the F15 FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 236"/239" .600"/.611" 111LSA - aggressive profile with a 3200-7200 RPM range, rough idle

Now i'm hungry too

just keep in mind with some of those your gonna be limited on what heads you can go with. t rex was gonna be my first choice till i found out i had to fly cut. most people ive heard say fly cutting is necessary for that cam. some have said its not. even the ms4 is close i hear. im crossin my fingers my ms4 will clear my 243s haha

Since your in CA., What about SMOG testing ?

If you go above 230 ish on the duration, it's going to kill your low end torque on stock cubes. + it won't pass SMOG.

It's awesome on the streets, I had a good tuner. My second gear went out so I've been saving for my built 65e. It'll be in next week and I'll throw it on the dyno. I'm expecting 415-420.
