Default What about this head/cam combo?

2003 Z06 with American Racing Headers 1 3/4", Halltech Venom, and RPM 3.73 built rear. Worked with TEA and this is the combo we put together....

TFS 215 CNC Heads milled to 61cc
Comp Cam Custom Grind 232/236 .595/.579 113 + 3 degree adv.
Valve events @ .050 are:
IVO 6
IVC 46
EVO 54
EVC 2
Overlap 8* (ICL 110)


Will also be adding Fast 90/90, injectors, Morel lifters, Yella Terra 1.7 rockers, TFS Pushrods, Cloyes Hex-a-adjust, 25% Underdrive Pulley, and Electric Water Pump.

What do you think? Not a gearhead so looking for constructive comments!
Hope to be around 450 rwhp
Car is weekend fun car and occasional 1/4 miler
Base run stock with headers and intake 12.3 @ 116mph

Thanks!

I'm going with a similar setup for an 02 Z06 and I'm also hoping to be around 450rwhp. What made you decide to go with an electric water pump?

I guess a couple of reasons....free up a little more HP and cool better at low rpm at the track. Plus, I found a brand new Meziere WP319U on forum for $450! Also ordered a DeWitt radiator for when I do the swap. Probably won't be until spring though....time now to study, learn, and prepare!!
