I do plan on cheater slicks for the vette rims but going for cam first I guess. Not looking for loud, Just want a nice cammin sound. Guess im going to go BIGGER than I had planned do to all the motivation here. Cam is first on my list just to get it out of the way too. I can do the bolt ons anytime. If I dont do the cam now, I never will so here I go...

I could of got a little better than 14 but traction was not a problem. KCIR was sticky the day I went. And yea, I dont race at a track much (2nd time) so my reaction time was BAD. Worse than when I took the lightning I use to have. It ran 13.8's. Stock 04.

I dont want to mess up here and I want to get the cam ordered so...
ms3, ls6, 228r, etc... Has anyone here used any of those cams or other cams that have been recomended? If so, Is it what you would recomend. And what all MUST i change for the cam you have? Hopefully it comes in a kit. PM me if needed. Thanks

I would get at least a 3500 tci.
3000 stall part# tci-242931 514.95 in my summit book
3500 stall part# tci-242932 559.95 in my summit book

if your going to cam it or have a cam get a 3500 super streetfighter.

Imo if you want a good powere adding cam that you can daily drive get a ms3 cam with 112 lsa. it comes in a kit and comes with everything you need to change. with that cam you will need at least a 3500 or 3800+ stall.

TUNE,TUNE, and TUNE is what makes the car get the most from a cam and is what makes the "shake" from the cam not be as bad.

my 98 z has 410 gear, auburn 3 series pose, 26-10 mt et streets, b&m 3000 stall converter, hooker long tube headers and flowmaster exhaust, cold air box, frame connectors and the rest is stock besides the tune and it runs 7.80's -90's in the 8th mile all day and have driven it from michigan to tennessee a few times and does awsome... also just put a nos 150 shot on it but have not used it yet.. my next thing is going to be a cam heads and intake upgrade... I believe im going to put the trick flow 500 plus hp kit on it and see how that works...
