Welcome to the Forum bro, nice Z it looks real clean. Any mods/ future plans? I have the same wheels on my SS and I like those headlights on your car, A SLP grille would really set it off.

Thanks bigken your input is appreciated!!!
current mods are
SLP CAI
LT headers
Flowmaster
3"ORY exhaust no cats
Subframe Connectors
LCA
LCA relo brackets
panhard bar
Stage 3 clutch kit
and have custom made the interior.
FUTURE PLANS:
i am going to put
-ls2 or ls6 Heads 243's
-ls6 intake
-Cam i have been reading about the 224R my main concern with the cam is that i do not want any vibrations in the cabin, where i live there are stop lights in every corner and its MAD hot so i need AC on full blast and cannot have the car surging constantly. this is why i am hearting for this cam based on what i have read.
do you think its better a tailored cam?
my plans for the car are to have it handling smooth as butter as a daily driver even though it isnt. i will not track the car, its just pull and fun thats what im after without affecting stock drivability.
what is your opinion?or anyone else for that matter based on what i have said, your opinions are very well appreciated.
regards,
Marco

I can't say I would be the best to give advice for the perfect cam, but I had a 566/568 lift cam in my 98 at a 112 lobe separation angle and also had slp 1.8 roller rockers so that increases the lift a little and I had no surging issues. Granted it was a small cam with 222/224 of duration but still made over 400 to the rear wheels through an auto and I didn't have any surging. The surging would be more due to a bad tune, if the car is tuned right you shouldn't have any issues. The car wasn't my dd but it could have been and I live in fl so I always used the ac when I drove it and it ran great.
Make sure you select the right cam for your goals and get it tuned properly.
I would like to see some pics of your custom interior bro.

Welcome to LS1TECH! Super nice Z28 you have there. She looks like a beast, and the cam will only further secure that status. All the best with your decision!
