Cammed car reliability
I am currently in the process of installing a cam in my 2002 Z06. I know modifying an engine reduces reliability but by how much my car is in no way a DD. I bring it to the track 4~5 times a year. The car currently as stock LS6 Heads, LG Pro long tubes, B&B Bullets & Halltech intake. Here’s what I am installing.
TSP MS4 111LSA
PRC Double Spring .660
Hardened Pushrods
FAST 90\90
FAST #36 Injectors
PowerBond 25% UD Pulley
LS2 Timing chain
I will be installing a new clutch next summer since the stocker will probably not last for to long.
Thanks !

That would still be a very reliable set-up as long as you do the normal maintenance. It doesn't sound to me like your beating the **** out of it every weekend at the track so I think you'll be fine.

Driveability is all in the tune and your opinion of what is and isn't driveable. As for the reliability the only thing I would worry about is springs with the huge lift the MS4 has on the intake with the LSK lobe. TSP themselves recommended pulling an intake spring about every 10K miles to check pressures (saw it in another thread). Mine's not a DD either so I'm not too worried about the dual springs and running over .610" lift on both lobes but I'll definitely get them checked after about 10K miles or so.

I never did an oil pump on mine, bu it only only has 55k miles on it. I DD my 232/232 cam and 3.42 car everyday but it has the proper tune and it does great. I spin it to 6500 rpms every once in awhile and its still drives like my car when it was just boltons. Like everyone said alot of drivability is gonna be in the tune, so hopefully you have a good tuner since your running that cam choice.
