Help me pick a cam please.... I have a 2006 A6 vette. I can't get a stall at the moment, but plan to as soon as one is available. I want to cam it in a bad way, I'm getting bored waiting for the stalls to come out.
My mods are as follows: 1 3/4 Kooks Headers, off road X, Borla stingers, Callaway Honker. Car has been a best of 12.2, no tune, stock tires.
I would like the cam to make good torque and power throughout the band, but don't mind one bit if it shakes at idle. I'd like an aggressive sound at idle. I want more power, but I want it to still drive like a vette, meaning well rounded. I don't want a cheater cam, I want it to be aggressive at idle.
The majority of my driving is on the street, most of my racing is random encounters, but I do go to the strip. I'd like to go in the 10s, (will need DRs and Stall, I know), but wouldn't be dissappointed with a car that ran mid 11s on street tires.
For now I'm on stock heads, I'm trying to buy a house in the next couple months so the heads will have to wait. A fast intake is a possiblity in the near future as well.
All in all, I know I'm asking alot but any suggestions or places to look would be greatly appreciated. I've been thinking about the MTI G1, and the comp 228/232, but would like to know what other people are running.
Sorry for the long *** post. Thanks,
Ed

Get a small torque cam, I had a 219/225/ 561 114lsa in my CTSV, Now that cam was speced out for a heavy 4000lbs ls6. My V made a crap load of torque for a baby cam and it would kill any Big cam V or supercharged V till 100. I think you can go alittle bigger but you should call Comp Cams and do a Cam request. Tell them what you want to do with your vette.... I will most likely never buy a pre-speced cam....

Look at the Futral F13. There are lots of people running that cam and it is a great choice for low end torque. I personally put a F14 in my Z06 and I loved it. Until my recent change for more cubes and a bigger cam. I would PM John@futralmotorsports on the board here.
