Need Advice ''what cam'' ?
I have a '99 z,m6 (weekend driving)
car has boltons,mods in sig
I want a cam that gives me good numbers(HP)..I'm planning to stay stock heads so far..until next year..and in the future maybe i'll go with a supercharger...I do some street racing
I may use nos(maybe) not sure
one guy told me to go with 222/228 .571/.578 114º LSA as he said " works well naturally aspirated and work with a centrifugal blower well "
other one said "A 226-234 cam on a 113 LSA would be the best one to run all around"
I dont want to change the cam when it comes to get new Heads..(saving few bucks)
what cam do you guys recommend ?
do I have to change the ls6 to 90 FAST intake ?
one guy told me that a good cam will have an overlap between 1-5 ? is that true ?
Thanks in advance

Contact a professional like Patrick G, Predator-Z, or some sponsors and have them spec a custom cam for your needs. I have a off the shelf cam like many people on this site, but would go custom if I did it again. More overlap will give it that chop sound. Judging by your questions, use the search button and ask someone mentioned above.

Now, here is the trick, you want a good cam that will work NA and then 1 year later on a Supercharger.
224/230 .609/.604 112+2 LSA
That will be the ticket for both, 3* overlap, exhaust biast, 42 IVC (6200 rpm peak with LS6), the XFI lobe will act like a 228 duration on intake. Power range 1800>6600
intake lobe 3015r
Exhaust lobe 3036r
112 LSA
110 ICL
If you like, those are the specs you can give to a shop to get it ground.

What your asking for is a little bit tricky. It's hard to just make up a cam spec without more information about your current combo & what your boosted combo will look like. I'd be more than happy to help you select a camshaft for your application, but I'd definately need more information before I went spec'ing a camshaft off a couple statements....
Give us a call & we can discuss possible options for you.
