you can run just about any cam you want on stock heads. the question is, will it work well? in this case, no. it will sound great but there are better options for a cam only motor. i ran an ai 226/234 cam. moved great, made 363rwhp.

Yes u can run the cc306 with stock heads...change the valve spings!! If u just want to cruise around town and sound nasty then yes go for it. But if u want to race or go to the track, then a 3600 or 4 k stall would be better. Now at the track on the stock bottom end this cam will make power way above the 6400 rpm safe zome that i observe. Dont race on this cam unless u have a forged bottom end. Others may think that the rpm may be higher but i kinda think that is the high limit...I would go with cc503 or call AI or LE custom grind just my .02

Displacement affects a cam's manners in an engine so disregard advise on what a cam is like in a stroker.

The Lingenfelter 211/219 cam can sound stock with a slight raise in idle speed and is a really good performer.

My XFI baby cam could be made to sound stock through the cat back, and it sounded very mean through the open cutout...

Dont worry about what a cam sounds like though, unless you are specifically going for a stealth cam that no one will recognize...

With cats in place it sounds exactly like stock. Through a cutout only those who know what to listen for may think there is a cam, however you can just tell them you are having some ignition issues.
And yes, as stated, don't worry what the car sounds like. Your options to have a stealthy n/a setup are limited.

wouldnt a quiet exhaust make a nasty cam way less noticeable? I would say get whatever cam best fits your needs and run a really quiet exhaust. youll still hear the lope but barely. Ive heard a Z06 with a donkey dick sound pretty stock with the cutout closed then nasty when it was open. jmo

I went with the 230/236 544/555 comp cam. Its a great cam that makes good power without a crazy lope.
