Buying a cam for my C6 Z06!! What's up guys. Some of you may know Eric from ET cylinder heads. Very knowledgeable guy. He can get me a cam kit for about $750, that includes the cam, new valve seals, rods, springs, etc..
My question is, since I am not very good at this and just starting to learn, is this considered a big cam for the LS7? I don't, DON'T want my car to sound nasty. A little loud is ok, but not like nasty loud. The specs of the cam are:
238/246 on a 114 LSA with a .649 lift.
Any opinions, or any sound clips that would let me have an idea of what a cam of this size/specs will sound like on my car?
TIA

I have this cam in my L92/L76 408 ...... test drove the car a little ago for the first time (i'll make a thread in the next couple of days) and it feels great. SLIGHT slight lope but VERY very torquey

Good to hear guys. I have spoken to a few people and they all have been telling me that this is going to be a great cam for my car with good power and not too much noise. If I can get to 530 rwhp with Kooks Long tubes, x pipe, deleted cats, this cam, intake and a tune, I will be a happy camper. Only time will tell. I will keep you updated.
