am looking to keep the Z streetable, but want a little bit of lope to her. She now has the stock 2001 LS1 CAM in it. Would upgrading to the 2002 LS6 CAM sound / act much better than what I have now? specifics on the 2002 LS6 CAM here:
204/218 int/exh @ 0.05" duration
0.551" / 0.547" int/exh lift
117 LSA

The Z06 cam will pull better up top, I have heard a couple of them in person and they sounded exactly like the stock cam to me. Plan on doing a valvespring swap, your stock springs won't support that cam. And you'll need to raise your rev limit to take full advantage of it.

Go with like a 224/224 and tuning. Its perfectly streetable, and you will still enjoy driving the car everyday. Also..there is no lope to the stock z06 cam..atleast I don't hear much when I listen to my friends z06 idle.

I have the 224, 581 in my C5. It idles perfect has a littlie lope to it and is as streetable as it gets with plenty of power. See sig for 1/4 mile times. With the TEA heads it loved the spray. I personaly would not even bother with anythig less.

If you do a cam swap, might as well go with something bigger than a LS6 cam. I personally wouldn't do anything less than say a 220 or 224 duration.

streetable is in the mind of the beholder or something like that

My car has a 232/240 593/603 112 cam in it and it's streetable... never dies on me, holds an idle etc...

As mentioned... if you're going to go through the work of putting a cam in might as well go bigger...

I used to run a TR224 and loved... but some recent upgrades required me go w/a bigger cam...

I agree with the 220-224 range. I would keep it in the 114 lsa as it would idle better for an A4.
You could also check out an MTI Stealth cam. They have 2 grinds.

get a little cam, like the 231/237 .598/.595 @ 112*, perfect little cam for an Auto, you can hear a little lope if you put your ear down there And it pulls a little better than stock.

Ok, seriously now. I am looking at going to something more like the 02 LS6 cam myself. Maybe I will come up with a custom grind. Something like 220/216 .570/.570 116*lsa. Good cam for NA favoring our poor I:E ratio, and should even out good with a nitrous application.

Good luck in your search for camhappiness.

The 02 LS6 cam's 117 LSA tends to hid any lope IMO like Gomer said. LPE GT2-3 is like a big LS6 cam 208/220 on a 118.5 LSA makes excellent power for the small size but will be stock mannered with tuning. IMO the best of both worlds cam is a custom 224 XE-R on a 113 LSA. Mine has some lope but it isn't annoying. Drives great everywhere. Parking decks going up hill at a creep are a little annoying but they weren't much fun when the car was a bolt on car either. TR's 224 is one of the great cams. I think TSP's new 225 cam might be worth a good look too.

Are you looking for a cam more mild mannered than stock?
