Default Texas Speed Giant in a 346?

Yeah I have a 03 z06 with currently a ms3 cam, lts, cai, ud pulley, 150 wet shot, dedicated fuel system. I was wondering if I could run this cam in a 346 ls6? I know about the driveablity issues and that it would only make peak power that wasnt very street useable...but I want it anyways for reasons of my own. Also I am assuming that I would have to flycut right? Has anyone ever ran this cam in a 346? Thanks.

I'm no expert but I'm not sure flycutting will be enough on that cam as it is bigger than a T-Rex cam. You may need aftermarket pistons with -2cc valve reliefs. But some of our experts can chime in.

I think it is a waste to put that big of a cam in a stock 346 engine. You will need compression and the guts to rev to the moon to be able to realize the power band of that camshaft.

Keep your Magic Stick 3. You won't gain alot with the Giant cam save for past 5500 and likely lose torque below.
