Forget the Z06 cam, for all the work involved to do a cam swap, get something that will actually make a noticible difference....perhaps something like the Thunder TR224, one of the best mild mannered-yet powerful cams ever made for these engines.

Don't bother with a Z06 cam......there are much better choices out there for more power.

do me next.....
Not to hijack the thread but here's whats awaiting (I mean in my basement) for me:
1) Dynatech Supermaxx Headers with Hi-flow cats and x-pipe
2) Magnaflo (15713) cat back
3) Vararam (2B)
4) Elite Engineering Abs of Steel "backbone"
5) Awaiting -- O2 extensions (special for '04)
6) On to VetteDoctors for baseline Dyno, install and Dyno Tune
Total investment -- $3450 including install and Dyno tune. Talk about the Mod bug, bitten for sure but can't wait
