Cam Only Guys come in!
Allright all BS aside I'm still looking and searcing through all the cam selections for my 01 SS M6. I am wanting a cam only monster for now. The car is not a DD and will not seen much driving time really AT ALL this fall. I do like to play on the street, and won't hit the track anymore until I have a 12 bolt in next spring.
I am looking for great power on the street that I can romp on the pedal and throw me back in the seat, and at the same time run me mid ish 11/s cam only.
I honestly dont want a small cam like a f13, I'm playing around with people who have trex's and ms4's along with other running with people who are custom cams
My only problem with a custom cam Is I'm the one shelling out the cash not my rentz, so I would like a cam that has been proven. haha I guess I am also young so I do want to say I am over 400 to the wheels cam only and have that chop like a ms4 on 111lsa
Here's some of the cams I have looked at
MS4.. might not have enough tq
TRex.. need more input
smaller cams.. still researching
Thank you

I know a guy with this exact cam and bolt-ons as me that went 11.9x without the udp in his 99.

Read around, that is a slugish LUNATI cam on low end. Needs more compresion and gears.

bigger is not always better, listen to what predator-Z said. It would make killer power for cam only. I have seen guys around here getting beat by people with smaller cams, because the power under the curve.
If I had to do it over again I would be going a bit smaller on my cam.

I'm really after a fun cam with lots of power tomplay around with for the summer and some the rest fo the year. Then next spring swap to a custom cam when I get a 12 bolt and hit them mid 11 e/t's cam only

Why do you want such big cams when you wont be going to the track? I think the HP #'s have gotten to you but if your looking for a "fun cam" on the street it will only be so long untill you realize you wasted your money on the MS4/T-rex/anything similar.

Try the F14 high lift. It is bigger than the F13 and will make better numbers. Cam only in a z06 i saw a high lift put down 435/416. There are also a few custom grinds that are bigger from Futral.
