Is a cam with stock manifolds and heads a bad idea? Is it a bad idea to put a cam in a car with stock manifolds and heads? I won't be getting headers for at least a year, but I was thinking a cam could give me a great lopey sound and a decent power increase while I saved for the headers. Would a TR224/112 be too much? Or should I go for something like the Hotcam? I really don't want to switch cams twice, so I want to get a good cam from the start. Would cutouts help at all? Oh yeah, my car is a '99 M6 SS with dual/dual exhaust, and is completely stock, save air lid. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Re: Is a cam with stock manifolds and heads a bad idea? My B1 221/221 cam netted me very little gains with stock manifolds. Headers helped a ton. Stock heads seem to be preforming well though....

Re: Is a cam with stock manifolds and heads a bad idea? I have stock heads, stock exhaust manifolds, cat bypass pipes, dual/dual exhaust,GMPP hotcam,and everything else is stock. I ran 11.44@117.99. I think it works out prtty good. Just my .02
