Default cam? for these heads

I just installed cartek s3 heads 2.02/1.57 60cc chamber double springs manley valves and a comp cam 218/224 113deg 562/567 +4, and I think I went overboard that car lobes very strong and its an automatic running very lean, so I took out the cam and was thinking about putting a z06 cam in but I swaped the stock one in for now, is this a good idea.

Default Re: cam? for these heads

thats not a big cam by todays standards... i'd install it straight up tho, not 4 degrees advanced... definately needs to be tuned to work well, tune it, and i bet it'll go like crazy... u wouldn't be satisfied with the Z06 cam after having that cam... unless u like smoothness instead of lope... but i think those heads are set for a big cam/top end... did u choose "stage 3" heads, or did someone 'make' u buy them?

I don't think that's a good idea!!

Cartek S3 heads with Z06 cam

This's some good addition:

- 224/224" .561/561" 112 LSA

- 226/226" .558/558" 112 LSA

- 224/224" .586/586" 112 LSA

- 227/224" .569/563" 112 LSA

- 224/227" .569/563" 112 LSA

- 222/222" .566/566" 112 LSA

Good luck
