Cam Help
Hey all,
I'm looking for some help in selecting a decent cam for power gain on street with autocross use for my '88 Z52 manual.
I have some cam support parts already, including an Edelbrock high flow base, Holley 58mm throttle body, Holley AFPR, and accel 24 lb injectors.
I'm planning on getting a pair of higher flow runners and well as a less restrictive exhaust, and 1.6 roller rockers with stiffer springs.
Any suggestions on where I should start looking or what I should be using? All help appreciated
Thanks!
Tom

With using a TPI style setup, I wouldn't stray too big in cam size as it would be a waste because the intake limits upper rpm performance. That being said, anything peaking in the 5000 rpm range would be fine. Something no bigger than say 220/224 and in reality more like 210/214 or similar especially if using stock heads imo.
