The 306 revs to like 6800 not even close to 5800! Your not researching if you think the 306 is daily drivable because it is a huge cam. And Brettinator is just trying to help because custom will get you exactly what you want. They can combine LSA and duration and lift to get the powerband and choppy idle you want.

I shift at six, so the cam will operate on my powerband. I just want to know if it will work with my computer is I send it in the be programmed. See there--- research. Quit acting like your **** is better than everyone else's just cause we are trying to learn. You are on a running your car on a different level than I am. I am just simply wanting a good sounding, nice running street car. 1 question------ cc306 on stock pcm reprogram or not?

I read about the cam on summitracing.com. Comp cc306 was said to have a powerband between 1800 and 5800. Thus, looks like more research is not paying off correctly. I will keep trying although. I really do appreciate all the feedback from everyone here. I appologise for grumpiness. As the cam shopping game goes although, facts and opinions often get mixed. I got it. cc 306 is only a good idea if I built a bottom end intended to hold higher revs correct. A 503 will work better with my stock setup, but a custom may help me aquire a better lope with the more appropriate level of performance and powerband. I will let this be the final word from which many opinions have been weighed? Appreciate it guys.

I went with the 847 cam, with the idle set @ 800 rpms it had a awsome lope it scared alot of people away from a race because of it's sound!! but unfortunally it wasent practical for a stock short block, I say that because i became a victim of a spun rod bearing from spinning the motor up to 6800 rpms much like the cc306 requires you to do they make great power with stock heads but won't last spinning the motor up in that rpm range. I recommend a smaller cam something like in the 230's duration and with a 112Lsa so you can have the sound you want, achieve decent power & have the combo last for longer then 1yr & 8 track runs.

If your looking at the cc503 I just installed that in my car. Here is a quick clip of it:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-modifications/627253-cc503-vid-cold-start.html
This is at the stock 800rpm idle through Mac mids, cat, and Magnaflow catback. Next week I'm going to post another vid because tomorrow I'm gonna lower my idle to 700rpm and get my cat cut out so it should lope harder and then you can see if that what you like and it could possibly answer alot of your questions.
