Looking For Reliable Sleeper H/C Set-up I'm looking for any suggestions for a reliable sleeper head/cam set-up. It's for my 99 Vette that I daily drive in the summer. It's mainly a street car that I take to the track once in awhile. I would like something that runs like stock, with very good power gains, reliable and emission friendly.

If you have the money AFR's are emissions friendly, A cam about the size of mine or smaller might be what you are looking for.
my car runs like stock with a little lobe to it, not as much lobe as I would like though.

that has to do with the springs and how much they can handle,,, right?
once again, sorry for the really dumb questions, im just getting into the cam research stuff,,,, and theres sooooooooooooo much, its confusing me a bit.

Check out Thunder Racing's CheaTR cam and AFR heads package. The AFR 205's are emissions legal and the CheaTR cam would be exactly what you are looking for and make some really good under the curve power. AFR's are sorta pricey but you get what you pay for. Especially to stay emissions legal...Check out the link below. Thunder made 394 WHP with this setup using stock manifolds, catalytic converters, and exhaust.

For the heads, should I go with 66cc, 64cc or 62cc combustion chambers? The car usually runs on Shell 91 octane and I like to keep it that way.
i really like my 224/224 cam and prc stge 2.5 cnc'd heads. i also have lt's, ud pulley, slp mass air/cai, and no cats. i am probably pushin 420-430ish, and i drive it everyday. if i only had h/c, i would say i would be around 380-390ish. i only run 91 octane.
AFR 205s, and their 6016 cam seem to makes great power, with little to no lope at all. Its only a 224/228, so its not really a big cam. I believe its the cam in my friends firehawk, which made 448rwhp with LS6 intake.
ill add another vote for the thunder racing package. if you want it as stock as possible then i would get that set up. its only going to be a sleeper though until someone looks under the hood. then the secret is out

64cc. With a stock MLS head gasket, that should put you around 10.5:1 CR.
