Default Would this be worth it?

What would I expect going from a Z06 cam to a Texas Speed 220/220 Camshaft...performance wise. Would you do this? This is my DD, any input would be awesome.

Well one of my good friends owned this car before I bought it. He decided to sell it when he purchased an 06 Z06. He did all the work to it, with a little help from me and some other friends. Before I had a pos mit 3000gt. So when I bought the Z i got rid of the gt asap. For now its my dd, just thought i'd ask about the difference in performance between the two cams. Should be getting myself a pos truck for dd

Between the 220 and the Z06 you'll see a big difference down low. You might net another 5-10 up top, but not noticeable. You can get a bigger cam now that would be a good daily driver, ex. 228R.

Thanks. Guess if I do decide to change cams I might as well think about heads and what not. Money, it's only paper right.
