Default What do you think about re-sale value: same stock Z06 with smog cam setup vs.A&A SC

Someone who should know told me that - for a given C6 Z06 - for money spent on a smog cam NA setup (i'm in california) vs. spent on having Andy at A&A install a SC with low boost - the SC install would likely sell easier / more money recouped. They explained that cams are very "personal," i.e. people have individual preferences of how aggressive it be, how much X,Y,Z parameters on the cam, whereas the SC kit would be considered a more "standard" mod with less "personalized" variables.

[of course, heads would be reworked on the car either way]

Thoughts?

I was surprised by this, as I had thought the opposite: that given the LS7 doesn't take well to boost, that most people would consider a SC'd LS7 that someone they don't know had driven for X miles to be more of gamble then a mild cam/intake Z06.

Blower because it would be very easy to remove and return to stock.

Both are going to have their prospective buyers but the blower, like Nick said, will be easier to return to stock.

all depends on the buyer.

Some will want its stock, some will want it cammed, some will want the blower.

different buyers for different cars. To me a FI car has the most damage done.. but its also a 2-3k item already purchased.
