So ive been going back and forth on doing a cam as im pretty much "stuck" when it comes to mods on my 18 zl1. Currently have 2" kooks, no cats into a borla s-type. 2.3 upper, stock lower, and roto.

Not going to get into a cam debate but more curious on what results will be around. But would be something in the "stage 2" cam spec range.. aka 230s/240s with 620+ lift,aloneg with lifters/oil pump, ect. While the blower is off ill get it x-ported with a 103tb. Probably to an ATI balancer with a smaller lower pulley (not sure on size) and upgrade to a big gulp. I know cooling will be an issue but ill be taking care of that with the griffen stage 3 kit.

I dont want to add meth/alcohol. Prefer to not go e85 but ill prob add flex and do a e40-e50 tune. Reason for not wanting to go e85 is its just not as easily acceptable. In fact I can get 100 oct easier than e85, and would be easier to run in the 93-95 oct.

Personally id be good around the low-mid 700s and kinda figure thats where this would put me

Anywho, just curious on what power levels (ish) this will be at as well as any helpful tips or other mod suggestions.
