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.
