Default head and cam combo question

would a z06 head on the ls1 with trex cams work well together and make good gains?

if those heads are stock id look into something else. trick flow and AFR are very good. theres others too.

Not my favorite cam if it is primarily a streetcar but to each his own... Those are the heads to get unless you go aftermarket like suggested above...

thats a race car cam.you need a 4000+ stall or a great clutch.you will need a 3.73 or better rear gear.talk to thunder racing.the biggest cam is not always the quickest .a torquer 2 with those heads will work great.get a custom cam to get the most out of your planed combo.

I put down 462/400 with just cam only on my C5 Z06 the cam is a Trex as well. It's not the best cam for a DD but if you have had a big cam and know what to expect it's not so bad i have had worse. Only thing is the Trex cam likes to be above 2k rpms anything below it just bucks and surges.
