have a 94 6 spd with 3.73's. i would like to cam the car this winter, and I would like to start getting some advice on the best cams to buy. I'd like to stay away from the hotcam, since everybody in my area is running that. I have stock heads, intake, but i have a 52mm throttle body if that aids any in the advice. anybody had any experience with the cc305? and is it ok to run 1.6's on the cc305 (.541/.541" lift) on stock heads/intake? thanx a lot

 

I've heard nothing but compliments about the CC305, and it should give you more power than the hotcam, plus it will do pretty well with ported heads too if you decide to go that route later. You could try the 306 but I don't think you'll get any more power out of that (plus you'll have driveability and gas mileage issues) unless you get some head work done.

 

If your going to run any cam 1st piece of advice is swap your springs in your heads b/c they will not hold the lift of an aftermarket cam are you planning on doing port work in the near future or a head swap? its also a good idea to replace your lifers, timing chain and get a good tune when replacing your cam to get the most out of your parts and prevent having to do the work again b/c of a failed lifer or chain. The cam all depends on what you want out of the set up, Hp sound, future mods, street app, drag only etc.

 

This is what I would get I met a guy with this cam and heard this cam one time, it sounded awesome and the car seemed pretty fast though I dont know what it dynoed.

I would get 1.6 rr's to bring the lift up a bit.

 

well, obviously I'd swap the springs, reatiners, locks, as well as timing chain, maybe lifters, and lt1 edit to do all the tuning i'd need. I'd just like to run stock heads for a while. i'll probably port match the intake, and other small things like that to try and help some flow. in the future, I'll probably have the stock heads/intake hogged out. i'm not going to worry about buying lt4 heads or anything. I've seen people running 550+ rwhp on hogged out lt1 heads. ths stock heads are aluminum on my car anyway.

I do want a ton of driveablility, as i drive my car daily in the nice weather. I don't want to sacrifice a ton of gas mileage, but it doesn't matter a whole lot since i have other cars for the no so fun long drives. I'm sticking with drag racing, so thats what i want the cam to perform on. I've been wanting to run the cc305, but i'm not sure whether to use 1.5rr's (.510/.510 lift) or 1.6's (.541/.541 lift). ??????????

 

If its tuned right you should still get good gas mileage, I get around 17mpg with my stroker.

 

I would use this cam CC-TN-230XL it is a 230/236 xe from cmotorsports 544/.555 with 1.6 rockers I think it will perform more like the cam you are looking for.

 

I'd do the CC306 on a 6-speed car. The CC305 is nice, but it wouldn't be enough if you ever did your heads.

i got a 97 z4 z28 with the cc305, ported heads, long tubes, all the bolt ons a 3300 vig. all with a 2.73 gear. I out ran a mustang on the street that went 7.7's. My cc305 pulls hard to 6200, i just need to install my gear. I was told that the cc305 would not have a lick to it. Well, mines lopes pretty good, I do have the crane gold 1.6 race rockers. The 305 is good in my opinion, i want the gm 847 now.

 

what is the max lift and duration i can run on stock heads/intake?

 

what are the best springs to run that will hold .550 lift?

 

XE 227/233. Just do it.

 

I agree. I really like the cc305, but I've wanted more since about a year after the install. CC305 has really good street manners, passed cali emmissions, etc. But I don't think I'll do heads without changing the cam. I really want to do something like the LE2 setup or the cc306.

So for me it's either go bigger with the cam and get head work done, or keep the cam and go supercharger. Either way, I'm a broke *** fool who is dreaming at best for the time being

 

I say the CC305... I got 23 MPG when I kept my foot off the floor, and trapped 113 in the 1/4 and almost 89 in the 1/8th with stock heads, 58 MM TB, long tubes, and 30 lb svo's the car ran great had no driveability issues. That setup was the one I enjoyed the most.

 

ex612-6 from cmotorsports .com are good to .600lift
