Motor is out: Cam change or No? Eforce Z06
My daily driver '06 Z06 is going back together with forged pistons.
I am happy with the HP numbers near (700rwhp) and driveability.
Even the builder says it's not critical to change the cam but I'm wondering if a properly designed "blower cam" will add reliability for those top end runs one may embark upon from time to time.
I'm thinking cylinder pressure or something.
Otherwise, I want OEM manners in everything from heavy traffic to mountain roads.
Really could use some advice on this.
Thanks!

I would have a cam spec'd specifically for what you want. A smart "cam guy" will listen and give you exactly what you want. I used Pat G. myself, and specified that I wanted stock drivability, very mild lope, and of course maximum power under those conditions. I got exactly what I wanted from it.

If you ever think you might do one... now's the time

It would make sense to do the cam now while your engine is being assembled.
