Sleeper cam
Sleeper cam I'm thinking about putting a cam in my 99 Z28 to go along with the LS6 intake and PP TB. I want something that I can preferably use with a stock stall or maybe a 2200 stall. I want it to be a real sleeper. I'm not looking for max hp or tq, just want to run around 7.6X or a little faster in the 1/8 mile. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Mike

228 is not a sleeper I am running that on the 114 and its sounds pretty loud maybe because I have longtubes and no cats but its not a sleeper not a big cam but no sleeper cam, 220 on 116 would be more sleeper
I just ordered a magnaflow and the previous owner cut the cats off. I'm eventually going to do headers and a Y since the cats are gone. What kind of times can I expect in the 1/8 mile with the 220 cams? 224?
LOL, it's not going to be a sleeper with no cats! If you want it to be a sleeper you need something with a wide LSA. There are lots of choices out there. Thunder and Lingenfelter have nice cams that will sound almost like stock.

219/223 .607/.610 111+1 LSA
If you are going to stall it, 2800 stall (2.0>2.2 str)
What kinda of times will something like this put down on the 1/8 mile with supporting mods and full bolt on minus water pump? How long will the springs last with that kind of lift and would I NEED a stall?

Damn that is alot of lift for a small cam. As long as you warm the springs up like they are supposed to before hammering it and heat cycle them. A while... lol. You will run mid 7's with that honestly.
Well my buddy ran 7.50 with his 408 so I would like to get close to that. Don't ask why it was so slow.... If I can get with in a tenth I can take him easy.

I don't have any experience with camshafts yet. (And I must stress the "yet.") But I've come across this on youtube a couple of times. This makes me wanna do something similar. Check it out.
