There are a lot of choices when it comes to a cam. What do you do with your car, like drag, road course, just your weekend cruiser? Do you want a monster cam with a huge lope or a cam that sounds stock. Do you like mid to high range of power or power threw the whole curve. When you answer these questions post it up and we can help you from there.

I had a MS4 cam, on the high end of big cams, in my Z06 and could easiy daily drive it and still got damn near 30mpg on the expressway.

Like NoTraction said, its all in what you want tho.

I loved the TR224 in my old '99 Coupe, that car was smooth and it ripped.

Well you can get a big size cam like the MS4 or TREX (Im running that) in your car and it can drive close to stock with a very good tuner. Its all in the tune man with big cam to drive close to stock.

But it seems to me, these would be your best options.

I just bought a new Comp Cams 224/230 .580.580 112 LSA.

It's supposed to have a very strong midrange. Should sound like a GM HotCam but with more power.

Not yet, I will have one up in the next week or so. My buddy has a bad *** video camera and I want to recorded it with that. It will pick up the sound a lot better than the one on my phone lol.

Also I have ARH with no cats and SLP Loudmouths. It's well, Loud as ****.

I believe our C cam or something similar would make for a great choice in your car. Not quite as soft sounding at idle as the others mentioned in this thread but just as drivable.

Yeah man I love this cam I do alot of highway rolls as well as track and this cam just preforms very well for both. Hell look at the fastest list here on tech half the guys in the top 10 all run the Trex as well.

here is my old Z06 with the MS4 cam in it. As said above it is all in the tune. My Z ran great and with the MS4 the car still was pulling at 7000rpms. It fell off a little bit after peak hp, but not much.

My bro has the Trex in his ws6, just got it tuned yesterday. With a ported fast 90, NW TB, P/P LS6 heads and the car put down 443rwhp and 400rwtq on a mustang dyno. I think 4.10's are a bit much but he likes it. Great driveablility.
