i have a 98 z28 that i want to do a heads cam set up on. i found a tr230 cam and am not sure what heads to go with without spending a fortune!!

I have that cam in my LS1 GTO. Ported LS6 heads seem to be a good combo. Get a LS6 intake manifold if you haven't already done so.

Anyway you look at it a head and cam swap isnt cheap but your cheapest route would be to send off your stock heads and get them cnc'd. I have the texas speed 228r 114lsa and it is awesome. wasnt too pricey either.

Just remember on the combo u get of heads an cam to be clear on your valve clearance . You should check out texas speed is ur z28 auto or 6 speed is ur car gonna be a dd or a weekend car

I was looking into the 228r but after some reading, i think im leaning towards the streetsweeper HT cam instead. Sounds great and a lot of people love it.

As for heads, id go ported 243s and ls6 intake or typhoon.

is that 230 cam used? be sure to check it out thoroughly before you purchase it..

If it's close to "new" price I would buy new.. goodluck.

IMHO I would purchase a H/C kit from texas speed, it will give you 90% of what you need for the swap and is very affordable

Always be careful buying used cams period,one thing i dont do is buy used internals,im good on that,cams are kinda cheap,imo not worth it to save 100/150 bucks buying used,also 98s have the weaker rod bolts so i would suggest not going with a spin it to the moon setup,from my experience if i could do it all over again i would just buy a good used d1sc setup and call it a day,safe tune, good fuel and it will be a pretty fun ride,and you can install that yourself without tearing into the motor,( i dont know if you were going to do the labor on the h/c setup,but labor is pricey and then figure a tune)just add up everything,get prices,research etc, i have seen some people spend alot of cash to later go boost anyway,not that h/c wont help boost but it all depends on your end goal,if i would be able to start i would do bolt ons and a blower then save for a forged motor,that would have saved a few bucks,also is your car a m6 or a4?

agreed used cams can be a big mistake.some used unported 243/799 heads will give you 15 rwhp for $400.or check out Texas Speed for ported ls heads.how much $$$$ do you have to spend ?
