118mph trap speed with factory heads? My friend has a 99 SS and wants to run a "cam-only" setup in it that traps at least 118mph in a ~3500lb car. It's his daily driver so that is somewhat of a concern. It'll most likely get lifters and rod bolts when we do the install as well.
So what are your ideas on a good camshaft for this situation?

It's doable....I was trapping over 110 with just bolt-ons....w/ the cam I now have a easy 115+ and I have a "mild" cam.

The top 2 cam only vehicles are running basically the same cam. The T-Rex by Thunder Racing. 242/248 110LSA. Both cars ran 10.30s or faster at over 130mph. Stock heads, stock shortblock.

I've tuned T-Rex equipped cam-only cars to have excellent street manners...in fact, I tuned one yesterday that made 455rwhp and 401rwtq (cam only!). I could drive it every day!

its completely doable, my friend has a 02 z28, bolt ons like a lid, bellow, fast 78mm tb, Dynatech LT's, borla, ESP 1 cam, and tuned. Does 420 rwhp, did 11.998 @118 mph. The cam is is mid 230's duration int/exh, mid .500's lift and 112 LSA. The tune has alot to do with it.
