Cam Selection Alright all you cam-nuts, help me select a cam for my Z.
Car has a 102/102, 100 MAF, 1 7/8 Headers, 3600 Yank SS stall and 5.3L PRC Heads coming later.
I want to install the cam now, then put the heads on in it at a later date.
The cam's that I'm looking at...
Texas Speed Torquer V3 231/234 .643/598 Camshaft

Texas Speed 233/239 .595"/.603" Camshaft
http://texas-speed.com/p-1154-texas-...-camshaft.aspx
Vengeance Racing VRX5 Camshaft- 236/238 .601/.605

I will be driving it on the street, but it's not a DD, by any means. I drive it to car shows, a little street racing on the side, and it'll see the track about 3 times a year.

Is your car a DD? I have a 228R and thought it was perfect for a DD cam but still well worth installing.. I put down 381 with it.. and I was still running the stock intake.. I thing the streetsweeper ssht would be good for you too.. I almost went with the torquer v3 on mine but thought it might be a hair too big for a DD car. atleast for me

I think a 228/230 cam make a great cam. Gives you a broad powerband and great driveability (with the right tuner). Most people go straight for the biggest cam that will fit but I value something that will make power everywhere and not just up top.
