Default What cam for a bolt on Z06?

I have 1 3/4 TSP LT headers, vararam B2 intake, and tr6's. I want to get a cam for my car but Im not sure which one to get. I purchased a MS4 kit from a member on the corvette forum but im second guessing myself if its to big for streetability. I don't want a small cam, but I was also woundering if anyone else has a setup they like. I don't have the funds right now for heads so that will have to wait. I also have a NX wet kit and im sprayin a 125. Ive ran a 11.5 at 117mph and I would like to get it down to low 11's with just a cam. Anyways thanks in advance!

We've done a 24X/24X sized cam with stock heads and it drive's great. The other cam you may want to look into is Vengence's Vindicator. They've made some crazy power with that thing.

The key to that MS4 is the tune, get a good tuner to set you up and it will be awesome

I forgot to mention im in anchorage Alaska and there isn't any place to get a dyno tune. So I was gonna have a buddy run efi live. Any other thoughts? Ive gotten one mail order tune before and haven't been happy. Ill look into vengence racing, ive heard good about them.

224/228 .580-.580 114 LSA slight chop, or 112 LSA for choppy idle.

How is the streetability with that cam? and whats the LSA? I will spray a 150 as soon as I tune what ive got. Ive got a wideband and spraying 125 it runs a high 10afr. I like the sound of the aggresive cams but I don't want streetability issues if you know what i mean. How big of a difference should I expect from a 112 lsa to a 114lsa? I know the 112 is more choppy which is fine as long as you would recommend it for casual cruising, because this isn't my DD. I'd like to hit a deep 10 with the cam and a 150. Thanks for the replies guys.

I agree, and the G5X3 LGM can on a 112 lsa is always a great choice also!
