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.

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.

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.

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.
