Default best cam for street racing ??

Hi all ,

I am getting ready to install some stage 2 heads, and LS-6 Intake Manifold, and was thinking of going with a bigger cam for street racing.....

* I want to know the best cam for street racing ?

1- TR230 cam .

2- MTI's X1 cam .

3- MTI's c2 cam .

4- or any cam do you think it is the best and the
biggest cam for street racing .

* Which cam will give better power ??

So, does anyone have any suggestions!?!?

*1998 camaro z28 m6 ModsDirect Flow Lid))(hpp3)
(K&N air cleaner)(Granatelli MAF)(MSD wire's)(free mods)(Mac headers)(Pro-5.0 shifter)
(BMR TB bypass)(crome ZR-1's)(3.73)(160 T-stat)
(cut out)(Flowmaster exhaust)

I will put my vote in for the C2. It idles pretty dog gone smooth, makes phenominal power and puts down E.T.'s, that even with me being in the car, I still find astounding.

For such a seemingly "Clark Kent" cam.... when the chips are down, it can sure pull a helluva "Superman".

With this cam you dont need huge rear gears, or any other mega-cam band aid.

A good converter, a killer exhaust and a free flowing intake and your there....pure hell on the streets.

I fricken love this combo.

Ali,
what size of valves you going with?? 2.055 1.6?
I guess the c2 is a good cam for the above valves size....... and who's doing the head job??

Remember you only have 3.73 gears. Unless you plan on upgrading them to 4.10's or higher, go semi-conservative on the cam.

Good luck
