Approx.HP W/ Z06 Cam
Approx.HP W/ Z06 Cam (It would be going in my 99'Z28)
What should I expect HP/Torque wise from a 2002-04 Z06 cam/GM springs?
Is it even worth buying or is there another cam close in comparison?
I have not been around in the muscle car scene long enough to really know whats what. I just know that I want more power but also a comfortable daily driver.
Thanks all
Shawn

I cant give you specific numbers but if youre interested in a ZO6 cam and springs w/ retainers & even lifters I have a complete set of all new parts I will sell you dirt cheap. Hey they arent doing me any good and if I can save you some bucks, so be it! Peace!
If you are going to all the work of a cam swap, then your better off putting a better cam in. Your gains will be after 4k rpm. For instance, you could put a TR224 in there and make better power than the LS6 everwhere.

IMO, the gains from an LS6 cam is not worth the hassle/cost of a cam swap. I second the notion of a cam such as the TR224.

Thanks everyone. Is there a website for both of these cams?

they have the 224 cam that most people run.
If you don't have headers, and don't plan on getting them you may want to look at the CheaTR cam that thunder offers. It's more designed for the limitations of stock manifolds.

If I would have had full bolt ons, and had more of a chance to get it tuned, it would have been in the 380's hp range, and probably close to if not 380 tq. Just has to be tuned well. I was making more power and tq with that cam than a lot of people are with larger ones. A setup is probably 60% tuning, and 40% setup.
this stuff is foreign to me, can someone break this down quick and simple?

This cam loves a set of 4.10's in a M6 for this reason.
HOSS is absolutely right, my entire cam swap cost LESS than the new cam I just ordered, lol..
Everyone always claims there are better cams out there and sure there are on paper.. but its in the setup and tuning that really counts. I walk all over bigger cammed cars at my local track all the time and most of the time they all just crawl all over my car looking for nitrous lines..
If your going to spend the money on all the stuff, you might as well call up a vendor on the right --------> and tell them what your goals are and let them help you spec a camshaft for your needs.
