i wouldnt go any biger than a comp cams 306 cam on stock heads. the 305 cam is decent too. if your gas mileage sucks, u may want to check your fuel pump?

There is no best cam. Its all about what you want for your application. What all are you looking for? Do you want a little increase, big increase, street car, drag car, gas mileage, cam surge? It all should play a factor in what you want. Personally I have a pretty damn big cam for a street car that still has good drivability, passes emmissions, not too bad on cam surge or too too bad on gas mileage and It f*cking rips all on stock heads. Alot of this is due to great computer tunneing though and most people wont go this high due to close valve piston clearances but it fits me great and I love it. If your looking for a good street car with more power yet I would go with a cc305 or cc306.

You need to do some more research. And be more specific. We have no idea what cam would be best for you because we need to know your plans with the motor. Is it NA, Nitrous? Turbo? Supercharged? Be more specific do some research and then repost your question.

Im planning on putting heads and a supercharger. i want a cam that will make it sound really choppy. but as of what I have done to my 94 z28 is hooker long tube cermic coated headers, Y pipe , throttle body, MAF, 4.10 gears, K&N cold air, pullies. So I want a cam for this and that will work when i get my cam if not its cool. I just want a cam now that will sound choppy. My car http://www.bigdickmafia.com/anthony1.JPG
thanks Anthony

Livermore, California? If so you are pretty limited, no big cams, unless your going to swap at smog time. Plus if you are going blower, that is going to help decide what type of cam to look at, you are most absolutely going to need tuning, a blower on a stock engine by itself is already a high risk situation, with our without Californias crappy gas.

you could always call a cam manufacturer and have them build you a custom cam to your specs.

If you plan on a blower then you should get a custom blower grind. Something with a 114 or higher LSA. That would not give you your chop you are loooking for though. Also if you plan on doing all this to your stock bottom end be prepaired for a re-build. The pistions are very temermental....

only problem is a blower cam and a NA performance cam are totally different. you could get a blower cam now and sacrafice HP now or you could get a NA performance cam now and sacrafice HP later when you get the blower. It just doesnt work.

For NA performance I would get the CC305 or CC306. CC305 if you want any chance to pass emissions and 306 if you want the most power.

With a blower cam you want something with less valve overlap. To get less overlap you might want less duration with a higher Lobe sep angle. And you waant to favor the exhaust a lot more. So the designs are totally different. A blower cam will not work for you now.
