Whats up guys, I have a friends that just bought a 02 Z28. He is looking to build it up a little at a time. I am looking to find the best cam to go with free mods, and full exhaust any input is great thanks

 

you are gonna get about a million input ideas on this, you know that right?

 

yes but thats when you take some info from all and find what you want to do. plus it will give everyone something to do right

 

1st, go read the sticky that says CAM GUIDE.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/327734-cam-guide.html

 

to put it simply there is no best cam for those mods

depends on your long term goals for the car and what you intend to do w/ it

just be like me i been on here for weeks now looking over cam specs and reviews trying to decide.

also call the company you intend on buying it from, they usually are more then helpful once you know your goals...and budget =)

 

the trex cam is sick and i like the torquer v2

basically the only answers you are gonna get here are personal preferences aka the cams al the responders have in their cars. go read the sticky, learn a thing or two about cams, and at least pick a size range for us to narrow down some cams for you.

you are gonna hear everything from TR224 to an MS4

 

Hey chuck!! where's my frickin video! or a link to the it! is the car running or what?LOL

I love my Gm performance "Hotcam" with the cam and the mods in my sig I made 393 and I don have to worry about spring every 10k miles.

Just remember to compliment your mods to one another!

 

Well Thanks For The Input I Was Just Wanting To Here Some Input On What Yuo Were Running Thanks

 

does he want it to have nice power and close to stock gas mileage? or does he want power and doesnt mind sacrificing a few miles to the gallon? what kind of power is he looking at wanting to the wheels? is it a m6 or a4?

 

Say what? So your saying that if running a big cam you need to swap springs every 10k?

 

have you heard of "one to many"... ?.. well one question (without more details) will lead to many different answers.

You should have him talk to the CAM Manufactors as they are the experts.

But IMO.. .if your basically doing a CAM only (with free mod's).. the Smaller CAM's will most likely be your best bet for all round peformance. No more than the 224's, Mid .550 to .575's lift, 114-116 LSA ? Anything more that those will most likely be over kill with the stock heads, exhaust and intake.

 

You need to check them every so often, and see how they are holding up. They get soft after a while. You gotta remember the guys with big pimpin, donkey dick lift cams are slapping those valves and springs ho's around ALOT. Some have to some can wait another 5k miles.
