Deciding on cams!!
I have a 1998 Z28 with full exhaust and lid nothing major. Need helping choosing a cam! I daily drive it now so that has to be taken into consideration! Looking for good power range, but definitely don't want to get into flycutting pistons!
Choices:
MS4

i personally run the torquer 2. im going to go out on a limb and say thats the cam u should run. it will satisfy your needs, it will work with stock 3.42s, you will get ~400rwhp with an LS6 intake and full exhaust. it sounds choppy, its a great all around cam for our cars.

Keep in mind there is a difference between peak and useable power. Those huge cams make awesome power but most of it is up top so in drag racing applications they are great. For a DD you want down low useable street power. Unless you plan on rappin out 7000+ rpms on the street. For a DD street car I would rather have a cam that came in low and peaked at around 62-6400. Useable power trumps peak power everytime. There's 700hp honda civics out there that get beat by 400hp camaros because the honda doesn't make dick for power below 6k rpms.

yes i know i would need oil pump and stuff i have ordered just about everything but the push rods and springs and the cam because im not sure of what cam i want to go with.. and i have long tubes and lid , im going to get a better intake manifold as well but im more interested in figuring out the best cam to make like 400 hp or more and to have a good strong chop to it. I am deciding between the ms3 and torquer v3
