Default Got that Z06 Today.....

I signed the papers on a 2003 50th A. Z06. Silver. The car has 18K and is stong. Cam hear we come..... This is my 4th LS1 Style engine to trick out. I'm sure there are crazy threads about these subjects but what Cam should I get. I want it loud and fast. I won't do heads right away...... I had a 219/225 561. in my V. It ripped stock C5 Z06's but it was a baby torque cam that was perfect for a 4K LBS Caddie. What's good for this Z06........

Nice ride.

It has a nice stance but it looks VERY low.

I'd say a g5x3 cam if you want something fairly big. I had one in my c5 with some afr heads and it made good power. A friend is running the HPE S cam and really likes it as well. I've also seen alot of guys running the MS 3 as well. When I added the procharger I swapped cams and used the 224/228 and it still had a nice lope but well mannered.

My V made the same torque with a baby cam. I'm shooting for 400+ torque with the Vette. BUT, Im sure this Z will move faster with the same power becuase of weight difference....

Sweet looking car. Looks just like mine. btw your Z06 has been lowered for sure.

I have heard good things about the G5x3 114lsa/112lsa and a MS3 cam for vettes.

What are the specs on these cams you guys have? What spings are you guys using? I was going to do: rods,retainers,seats,springs etc. but no heads. I want to raise this sucker to 7k and have a great mid range.
