I know this has been asked countless times, but I just want to have information specific to my setup before I spend money on anything.
Right now I have a 1995 Z28 with intake and loudmouth exhaust. I will be picking up a set of longtubes tomorrow, and then I want to get a cam.
What is a decent cam for me? I'm looking for power throughout the rpm range. I want to go big right from the start, but this is a daily driver so I can't have anything that severly compromises driveability or fuel mileage. I plan on getting a set of heads, but not immediately Within a couple of months though. Also, as far as a timing chain set goes...I think I want to go with the Extreme Duty set, even though it costs a bit more. My question is what RPM is that timing set good for? I'm not going to be road racing or anything like that, but I do want to be able to rev as high as need be to squeeze every bit of power from the cam/heads setup and not have to worry about the chain failing. So what cam suggestions do you guys have and what RPM is the Extreme Duty chain good for?

 

Maybe a cc305, I hear good things about it in daily driven cars, I perfer radical setups, ie cc306 in a daily driver.

 

get an XE cam

 

Definitely consider an XE.

I went with the 224/230 112, 1.6 pro mags.

Great power band, easy to live with everyday, sounds great.. I've been very happy with it.

I do have an A4 though, if you have a stick you may might consider bumping up to a 230/236. There are a few folks on here with both cams, I'm sure some will chime in today.

 

Thanks guys. Anyone with the 230/236 drive with it daily? How is it? How is the gas mileage(not that big of a concern, just curious)? What kind of power are you making with it?

 

TTT
Anyone else have opinions? Anyone have info on what RPMs the extreme duty chain is good to?

 

I have the 230/236 in my daily driver it has been tuned and still has cam surge. I wouldn't recommend the cam unless you have gears and you would probably want heads too. I would recommend the 224/230 my friend has it on his stock headed car and it pulls pretty hard plus i have heard of it pulling close to 375rwhp with heads too if you want to upgrade.

 

i heard nothing but good things about that cam its the cam im going to get for my lt1 i have friend with it that love it he has about 450 horse at the crank with heads he say he has maybe around 385 hp to the rear wheels and he has a m6 and so do i so go with the ex 224/230 112 1.6 rr get it from http://www.cmotorsports.com/
