Here is my thoughts..... Pick a cam for you and your car. Don't fall into the online dyno war thread. Now as for what is a big cam as to what is a mild cam. I would say that is more up to the owner than anything. Just like drivablity it changes to each owner. Some might feel a stock ZL1 is to aggressive for a daily driver, while others would be fine going back and forth to work in a Top Fuel Dragster Try and talk to guys that have something similar to what you are wanting to do. Figure out what RPM range you keep the car in, and ultimately what you want to do with the car. Sit down with a few different tuners and see what they have to offer and what kind of package or parts they can put together for you. I know it is far to easy to fall into the Stage I, II, III...what ever package but figure out what is right for you. As with anything else, it is about the entire combo! |

No I literally mean 5 rwhp on the top isn't worth the 10-15 hit down low! We've seen several cars come in with entirely the wrong cam for the applicatoin and while plotting them against one of ours you can plain as day see a huge hit in the 2500-4800 RPM area. They may make a touch more up top but now without paying a huge penalty down low.

There.. I fixed it for ya... I think. If I'm misreading it then I apologize. I really do like the mentality you guys seem to have. I have been eagerly awaiting some good threads on your cams.

heavy cars need torque. having a flat torque curve with power off idle is a good thing
