another cam recommendation plz I have a 98 z 64k on the 346 with an a4 3.73s 3800 stall 1 3/4 longtubes with 3inch xpipe with magnaflows ls6 intake asp pulley. Car weighes about 3150 without me in it. I want a cam that will maximize the stock heads car is not a daily driver so driveability is not too much of an issue but i would like it to idle fairly decent. I do plan on adding a 100 shot after the cam. Let me know what you guys think and who has good cam package prices?
thanks

Tire size & gearing are going to play a big part in a max effort stock head car. If you weren't going to spray it, I would say something like a Ron Jeremy from Futral, or a T-Rex from Thunder, with 4.10's or 4.56's, but on the Jug you are going to run out of gear & don't need as much gear to get out of the hole on the spray due to the torque you are going to make down low so a 3.73 would probably word. The other option is if you run out of gear to go to a taller tire like a 28". You can always call Futral & get their recommendation, or have a custom cam ground. Maybe even a solid roller setup for stock head's.
The G5X2 isn't overkill for stock heads, the T-Rex is a cam that's designed for max effort stock headed applicatons. But I would really recommend calling someone like Futral & telling them what you want & getting a custom cam or having them recommend a cam to you.
This is really a loaded question that's beat to death on these boards.

All those big Cams are useless when running 98 style heads.If you want to run a big Cam like that pick up some 01-02 Heads for 2-300 to go with it.98 Heads can give up 30-50rwhp over the newer heads when ussing a big Cam.

So if you were to switch from the stock 98 heads and were only going to go back with a stock head, which one will yield the best results in stock (read cheap) unported form?
and yes I did a search...it was a little overwhelming...
