Default Quick cam confirmation for a C5Z
I've got a buddy wanting a cam for his C5Z.. he doesn't want too much of a cam sound but doesn't want it to sound stock.. he's got the stock heads, will be doing some BTR duals, 7.425 PR's.. he's got a vararam setup, ported TB and for exhaust LG streets with cats and stock Ti... I was looking at getting him a LSL/XE 230/234 114+2 ground up... what you guys think with this? Looking to make peak power 6300-6400rpm and the limiter will be set at 6800... set the idle to 850 or so and it'll probably take 24* of timing with our 91 gas... and put it right at 12.5:1...

I would keep. duration around 226-228 on the intake. LPE GT12, TSP 228, CamMotion Titan IV, SNS 227 all good choices.

I agree with the Titan IV, or even the Titan III if it is more of a street,

SNS 227 for the win! That's a lot of compression for pump gas though...
