Okay I dont care if the car has a choppy idle or shakes a bit when at a light but i do need it to be driveable and want to not change the valvetrain every 10k miles. I want it to be fine when cruising at 1500-2000 rpms in 6th. I have stock gears in the rear end and the stock z06 tranny and plan on keeping that way. I have port and polished heads, is an ms3 or ms4 a good choice or should i go with something less agressive for daily driving? RevX will check if my heads have been milled (done by previous owner) because i obviously dont want any valve clearance issues. Im looking for hp in the 440rwhp-450rwhp range if possible. I doubt i can expect more without a fast mani...

I have:
Full Exhaust
Underdrive pulley
z06 intake mani (obviously)
apparently a good set of ported/polished heads

I want/need to decide by tuesday morning

I would go with a 224/228 cam w/580+ lift on a 114 lobe center for an A4 plus you can keep it legal

Could go alittle higher with a MN6 tranny 228/228 or 228/230 with 580 + lift!

This has a mild chop and awesome performance!

Just my .02 cents!

Thanks,Matt

have you thought about one of EG's signature cams? Those things are wicked sounding!!

I ran a 230-236 112 cam in my 346. I had a 90/90 setup and made 460 with an SD tune. I drove it in DC rush hour without problems. I really don't know that I'd want to go any bigger than that. Remember, it's all in the tune.

PolishDude

def want something in the 230s at least. I have a z06 so its a 6 speed for me. The shop is going to have a cam ground for me through comp cams so no go on the eg cams.

chris308

I believe Comp grinds EG's cams, i'm sure i seen it here...

PolishDude

yeah but i think revx wants to be the one to get it from comp so they make some $$ on it

chris308

ah, gotcha!

definitely don't be shy on your cam selection. I was a wuss and stuck with the ole 224/228 114lsa. While not "unhappy" with it, I wish I would have gone bigger. mid/high 230's if not low 240's Mine is extremely reliable, with awesome DD manners, but will be swapping soon.

PolishDude

yeah i currently have a 222/222 .566/.566 112 lsa so i need something bigger then high 220s

BADMFR

you just having your shortblock rebuilt or what? if not I might be interested in selling you my longblock making 435/400 and talk to revx about something new and exciting for me

vetterlatethannever

Go big!! Like WKMCD said, driveablility is mostly in the tune.

BADMFR

If you're gonna be a bear, be a F'n GRIZZLY BEAR!

PolishDude

they are going to rebuild my block, nothing exciting though, just a bigger cam

Something similar to a g5x-3 would be good. MS3 and MS4 are a bit much for the street. They're more track cams (or dyno queen). g5x-3 is just about right for a z06.

PolishDude

any idea what the specs are on those? mid 230s?

PolishDude

jacks996

I have all his parts on my car now and have no problems driving at all

seriously beg to differ, the MS3 is just fine for the street if tuned right and is far from a "dyno queen" cam

238/244 596/612 114+2. I've have had this cam in for 3 years with no issues. I've got 4.10 gears and just made a trip to Hot Springs and got 29 mpg, average around 75-80mph.
