What cam would be better?
What cam would be better? I found a Loyed Elliot 236/244 .579/.578 110 LSA Cam that i can pick up for Cheap..
My question is would it be better to run a CC306 (Already Have It) Or The Cam mentioned above..
Its going in a M6 with Crane Valve Springs, CC Hardend Pushrods (Stock Length), 1.6 RRs, Replacement Lifters..
The car is going to be a daily driver but not far, Like 20 miles a day and the track every once and awhile..
The guy selling it said he made 370 Stock Heads, and like 420 With Heads.. And he said he ran the cc306 before and made 360 with trickflow heads..
Would it be worth it to run the Loyed Cam? Or should i just stick with the cc306?
Thanks For Any Help/Opinions!

I'd go with the Lloyd cam. The 306 from everything I've gathered is mega lazy below 3000 rpm. Keep in mind hp is just a number. If it's a street car you want usable power, unless you like driving around at honda civic like rpm ranges. You're going to want torque down low on a street car. You may want to actually go smaller with a more aggressive lobe. I'd call Lloyd and see what he says. He's really awesome to work with.
I am currently running a cam really similar to the LE one, and it’s defiantly not a cam for a stock bottom end car. With my set up (3.42’s and mail tune) I ran the 8th mile 9.0 @ 85 with a abominable 2.4 60 ft. granted I was holding back at the track.

Why do you say it is no good for a stock bottom end? A stock shortblock in good shape that has good oil pressure can handle a lot of power and high rpm without a hitch.

Also the guy selling the LE cam sent some pics to me and it looks like the cam gear is alittle beat up, is it a bad idea to get it? I was just gonna pick it up cause he wants like 150..
Thanks for the help.

That cam is way too aggressive for a daily driven M6 and won't jive well with stock heads. It's going to be a chore to pedal yourself around with such a big cam... plus, you'll have to rev it to the moon.

I still have my stock shortblock engine just sitting here waiting for its new home. I took it 7k a lot. I typically shifted it at 6900 at the track. It had excellent oil pressure so I never really worried. The cam I ran was the XFI468 (242/248), I had TFS heads though. For me personally I wouldn't go over the comp 503 on a bone-stock cylinder head. It has proven itself time and time again to be just about the best thing out there.
LOL....just because it's been done does not make it a good idea! Trust me on this 6900 RPM is not for every stock LT1 
That's a nice cam but not for stock heads. My cam is similar with a little less duration. I had my stock rotating assembly balanced and ARP'd. And it is a daily driver.
As for the cam gear, describe "beat up."
