Im going to be doing a cam install in a few months and i was wondering what cam to install on my 2000 Z28. It's not going to be a daily driver, so i want to most HP possibly and I want something that sounds NASTY as hell. What do i need to look into??? isee that TSP has a magic stick 4 now

What supporting mods to you have, and what are you doing with the car? Cruiser? Dragster? Part-time Commuter? A4 or manual? A4 will need some hard parts to survive long at the RPM's the MS4 and similar cams peak at, plus a 4000 or better stall for best results. Manual will require at least a 4.10 gear, more if you are running a tall racing slick. Hopefully you already have headers and good exhaust.

If its not your daily driver, then the sky is literally the limit.

Sorry to mention this but its a M6 i have Pacesetter long tubes, SLP lid, 4.10's and some free mods. The car gets drove to work maybe twice a week and to the track 3 times a year but ALOT of street playing.

Stock heads and bottom end

With Stock bottom end I would not get a cam that will rev past 6500 max. Also need to look at PTV with stock heads. I would gurdd T Rex or MS4 would clear. You may want to talk with your tuner and see what they recommend. Custom is not a bad way ro go.

Problem is, the ones that are nasty as hell do make power at and above 6500 is setup properly. TRex and MS4 Rod would both clear, but both peak at 7000+. Rod bolts are an option, depending on how you feel about them.

Otherwise, you can scale back the cam some to peak around 6500: Torquer V3, 233/239, TRak or TR 230/236 are all good choices.

Thanks for the input fellas, Im not wanting to turn the car more than 6200-6500 so i dont need a cam that pulls all the way to 7000 im thinking some think smaller like you mentioned hammertime. im wanting 400 RWHP the guy that going to tune my car is really well and knows waht they are doing , So you you'll think that 400RWHp is possibly

If you are looking at 6200 - 6500, then what he said. Even the ones I listed probably peak over 6500 because they'll all have wider LSA's. Overcamming will only trade mid-range power for power your not going to use becuse of your desired operating range.

I made 396 rwhp with my combo and mine's a daily driver. It's pretty decent for daily use and has a nice lope. Specs and videos in sig.

Look into the MTI X1 cam. I believe it peeks below 6500 and makes great power.

Is that a extreme energy Comp Cam ?

PREDATOR-Z

On the xhaust, YES.

Intake Duration: 227
Lobe # 2127 (LSK)
Exhaust Duration: 232
Lobe # 3726 (XE-R)

LSA: 110
ICL: 108

Have you looked at getting a LG G5X2 or a LG G5X3. I had the X2 in my car for a couple years and then upgraded to a X4.

G5x2 has more duration so it may make more peak power but low rpm torque will be down compared to a smaller cam with a tight LSA.

Now on another angle, if you want killer midrange trq, good carry after peak (~6300), and ground shaking lope, try to digest this:

232/228, .595/.588 108-1 (108LSA/109 ICL) (XE-R)

I dont know which one to run im going to keep looking around. But for the price im thinking a 125 dry shot will put me where i want but half the money. But i will not have the lope like i have been missing

Keep in mind the costs of safely running nitrous. The blow down safety valve, bottle heater and remote valves that make nitrous convenient to use at any time (don't want to get pulled over with your manual valve open, almost insures a street racing violation).

You can go cam only for around $1000 even with dual springs, oil pump, timing set...
