trying to find if anyone has used or knows what this size cam would do for stock heads, bolt on c5 Z06. tried searching for it and it seems common with LS3s but not sure how it would do in these cars. believe lift is around 614/624 region.

 

What LSA and advance? Do you have this cam in hand or are you looking to buy it new?

 

It wouldn't be a bad cam for stock heads. But, stock heads don't need quite as much exhaust duration. That just adds overlap - something with about 8 degrees of variance int/exh works well with stock cathedral port heads.

Tick has a 227/235; BTR has a 227/234, and EPS has a 226/234 cam. All of those would work a little bit better and are great street cams. EPS and BTR grind them on a 113+2 usually and Tick does it on a 110+3. So it's a bit more rowdy, but makes more power due to the increased overlap and more dynamic compression from the earlier intake closing. Just depends on what you want.

 

not looking to buy it new but someone said they would give me a good deal on it if i wanted to go that route. I thinking they said the LSA was up near 114 but not sure on any advance unfortunately. not looking for max effort power or anything but just want to know if this will work decent and still be reliable/streetable.

 

It'll be easy to tune and make pretty good power. It won't be stealthy, it'll lope. But it won't be terrible.

It'd work better with a set of ported and milled heads. Otherwise, the dynamic compression will be a bit low with that cam.

 

so it would work but wouldnt be ideal. what type of cams specs would work best with stock heads, manifold, 1 3/4 headers, catless 3" x, stock Ti, drop in 20" K&N. Will being doing an LS2 chain, melling pump, springs and retainers (probably ones good to .660) and 7.4 pushrods at the same time of course. i was thinking more of a 231/235 112+3 .614/.624 would be a good route and know a few people who have used it with good results but any close result off the shelf cam would be fine for me.

 

It would work fine. It'd just work better with more compression.

If you want a cam that works better on stock heads, the Tick 227/235 110+3 is the ticket or something like the FTI StreetSweeper-HT... 228/232 111+3.

Or you could do my cam from EPS 230/234 but on a 111+3.
