Need help with cam!!
Need help with cam!! What do you guys think about putting a cam in my car and leaving the factory manifolds? It's a 99 Z28 6 speed with lid, Ported TB, FRA,TR55 plugs,and hooker maxflow muffler. What cam would you sugguest? It's a daily driver so I want somthing with good drivability. How much power do you think I would make by not putting headers on with my cam? Thanks
by not adding longtubes you are leaving a lot on the table. yes, you will gain 20-30 rwhp on manifolds. the more you open the exhaust, the better the engine can breath, the more power you will make.
Thanks for your input, I just wish long tubes weren't such a pain in the *** to install. I was just curious how much power I could make with out having to do headers right now. I probable will go a head and buy some pace setters and a off road y-pipe. The driver side doesn't look like it will be that bad but the passenger side looks like it will be a pain. Do you have to put the header in from the top or bottom? Is there a write up on here that tells how to install long tube headers? Thanks
Headers are easy to install The passenger side fits right in no problem at all the driver side there is an oil block off plate above the oil filter 2 10mm bolts and the steering shaft I also remove the clutch line's heat shield and the header goes in easy. I would buy some header studs too makes things that much easyer.
P.S you have to take all the plugs out of the motor too.
If your daily driving her I would go with like a 224 cam on a 114

you know you'll need to upgrade your valve springs if your going with a high lift cam (fyi) i have an auto so i was worried about over camming my street driven summer driver. the ls6 has 550 lift and 218 intake / 204 exhaust with 117 lsa. very mild,no lope sound. i would have gone slightly bigger, since you've got a manual do you want to hear the lope? good luck!
