Default which cam is for me

I have a 98 Z28 with whisper lid, full exhaust, full suspension. I am looking for a cam with a loud mean choppy lope to it. I'm lookin to make at least 375 to the wheels. It is an A4. It will be on stock unported heads. Which cam would everyone reccomend. I've heard that the MS3 is a good cam but is a little too big for stock heads. I love the way it sounds though lol. I also plan to buy comp 918's with titanium retainers and hardened pushrods. I don't really want to spend over 325 on the cam itself.

Thanks eveyrone

375 is a very easy number to make with all most any cam.

want it to lope harder get the lower LSA

might want to also look in to a stall and some gears and make sure you did all the bolt ons 1st

a very well know cam is the 224-224

You will need a stall and gears to optimize ur setup. Just my opinion but go big on the cam,you wont regret it.

Get a stall and LTs first. Don't get ahead of your self. You need the supporting mods first, Then you can look at getting a cam. Just my .02.

Disregard the last post. I just reread your post and you did say "full exhaust" I assume that means LT and Catback. With a good tune the MS3 would be a good DD cam with a 3500-4000 stall and gears.
