Need Advice & Opinion on Cam Choice!
Working on a decision on a new cam shaft for my 2010 Z06. This is in addition to full head package + headers etc. Here are my goals:
I have a 427 daily driver, show and cruise Vette, so the Z06 will be my track and autocross and HPDE car. However I DO want to keep it fully streetable and not a pain to drive on the streets in heavy traffic. Torque is more important to me than ultimate high rpm horse power. I like to drop into 6th gear fairly early when just running on the streets to gain as much fuel economy as I can. A nice idle lope is great, but I don't require the ultimate harsh cam sound to be happy. I've even thought about just doing the heads and some other light mods and staying with factory cam, but it is difficult to pass by another 30 - 45 HP with the top end opened up....
Here are my 2 choices With their specs:
http://vengeanceracing.net/…/vengean...kaotic-camsha…
Vengeance Racing KAOTIK Camshaft- 235/243 .621/.624 113+2
http://vengeanceracing.net/…/vengean...vrsp2-camshaf…
Vengeance Racing VRSP-2 Camshaft- 227/235 .614/.621 115+4
What are your thoughts? Anyone with similar grinds with comments and ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Nothing against Vengeance, great shop...links didn't direct me to their cams, so I don't know much about which lobe design they use.
If its me, I'd custom spec a cam from Cam Motion.

Why not just go with one of our head and cam packages:
Our head packages start @ $1,308 (plus shipping)
Cam kits starting @ $535 (custom cam, ARP crank bolt, front timing cover gasket set).
We have two extremely popular head and cam combos
One works great with the stock exhaust and puts down 535-555rwhp (drive like stock till you put your foot into it). The other is designed to work with headers and puts down 575-615RWHP
Give us a call:
310-326-2399
We also have core heads we can send out then send in your old heads after you complete the swap

I debated that one seriously.
Ended up using AHP above and did their 116, very happy I did. 100% drivability and when you step on it I have plenty of power.
