Default New Cam

I have a 1995 c4 with a stock Lt1 and I'm looking for a cam and lifter kit that will produce a nice sound and make a little more power, but wont ruin daily driveability. I was just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for me that has a cam installed.

What are your goals with this swap?


If you just change out the cam without any other changes (exhaust, electronics, intake porting...etc) you may be disappointed.

I had the GM hot cam kit (includes roller rockers & correct springs) and long tube headers installed on my 95a4 10 years ago and I still love it. I used it as a daily driver for 6 years with never a drivability issue.

The installation of the cam will require a tune so explain to the tuner that peak HP isn't your priority as much as drivability and dependability are.

You will love the sound of the cam and long tubes and the stock exhaust.
