Cam for C5 Looking to put a cam in my '97 C5. Converter is a 4000 stall, 2.4 STR with stock 3.15 gears. All other bolt ons are either on the car or gonna be put on. Looking for a cam that I drive the car on long trips (gas milage) but still make plenty of power. Looking for high 11's or better. Thanks!

Cam for C5 I used to have a 224/228 cam that I got over 30 highway mpg and ran 11.80 with a 3000 stall converter. There are several versions that would work. Cartek has one, Tony Mamo at AFR has one, but the one I used was from Pete at CNC heads in Pinellas Park Florida. I think that this cam would do what you want to do.

Slowhawk, I'll put heads on the car next year, so I need a cam that's gonna work now and later. I don't have an exact date, but this car will have heads early next year.
Predator Z, I'll talk to both Thunder and FM, both are local shops.

If you are going to do heads early next year, I would wait and do them both at the same time. You'll save a lot of money or time (if you are doing it yourself), plus you will only have to get the car tuned once. Just a thought, but I understand sometimes you can't wait!
