Biggest cam is the MS4 or the T-rex. You will need all the supporting boltons to make the best power and the valvetrain mods that go hand in hand w/ the cam swap. Whats your budget and are you a A4(auto) or M6 (6 speed)? Answering these will help pick out a cost effective combo.
first of all SEARCH! just stickin in the biggest *** cam in the car aint going to do you any good. you need to match the cam to the rest of the car....gears/stall...heads/intake you cant just slap a huge *** cam and expect to blow everyone's doors off while everything else is stock. also such a huge cam would put your power WAY up in the RPM's... are you just going to dedicate this car to the strip or what. also that handheld...throw it away. it aint going to do you jackshit for what your wanting to do. spend your time researchin first before you spend your money.

no, I don't have a problem with tuning the car I just didn't think I had too... If it's better for the car then I will for sure... My buddy is buying a power programer for his 02 z28, any one know if it'll work on mine??

Brett Foote Just use the search button on this forum and type in cam. Read through the posts and pick the cam you want and then get a tune when it's all back together and you'll be good.
Go get with someone who uses HPtuner or TunerCatz or something that is wide-ranging like that. And yes, you should tune with any major mod. Your cam choice should be based upon your mods, plans, and uses.

2- Forget a power programmer.You need someone that know's what they are doing OR take the many hr's and learn yourself(I would go the first by reading your posts)
OK, MS4. Thats what I am installing right now. You should not need all of that. I am doing MS4, PRC LS6 Heads, 4.10 gears, dual valve spring upgrade, LS2 Timing Chain, and 36LB injectors. Thats about a minimum. The injectors are not a must, but a buddy of mine has the MS3 and at WOT his injecters are running at 105% and he leans way way out. But NO the BIGGEST cam is not always the way to go
