Default Which cam

I've searched read the stickies and I've got a pretty good feel for what I want with my cam. My car is a DD but hopefully soon enough it will be a weekend car. With that said I would like it to have a nice powerful mean lope. Making around 360-390 to the ground. It WILL BE cam only. I don't want to nor do i have the money to upgrade heads. It is a 98 Z with whisper lid, !muffler, bmr panhard, LCA's, Weld in SFC's, bmr strut tower brace, billstein shocks and springs. With all that said what cam would be best for what I'm looking for.

I was looking for the same thing and after some research I decided on the Torquer v.2, so that's what I'm gonna suggest.

Torquer 2 is a great cam for what your asking for a bunch of other cams can also net you your goal.

as stated above me LTs would really open your power up!

CheaTR is the route i'm going, but i'll also planning very mild heads as well.

On a 112 the Torquer has 9* overlap, mine has 7* on a 113 and you definately can't mistake for stock

It has a nice lope, trust me.
