This is my dilemma. I LOVE the way cams sound. But, if i'm putting down close to 400rwhp with bolt ons and a tune. and i'm only getting 30rwhp from an aggressive cam, is it really worth it?!
Cam = $380-$400
Springs = $170-600
Gaskets = $50
Timing Chain = $50
Labor = $250 - ????
I myself am going to do mine myself in my garage, and then take it to get tuned. There are tutorials on how to do it, and i've done cams on other motors before so i know how to handle the cam going through cam bearings, so it shouldn't be that big of deal. Just never done a cam, with the motor still in the car.
But for all that money, is it worth 30-40hp in a z06?
I'd rather leave it stock and throw a 100 shot on it i think.

To actually answer the original question, you might want to have a look at what is offered from www.ThunderRacing.com .
If someone has a better bang-for-the-buck answer, I'm all ears.

haha.I dont see much gains in the fast 90/90 intakes for what they cost. The LS6 is good up to about 650hp. (or so i've read in gm high performance magazines)

hey man I have a full throttle switch. it comes from nx and its all electronic when I go to the floor it kicks and when I go to shift it lets off and kicks again. a slight hesitation but only about 1/10 of a sec. or less so Im ok with that I hung with and eventually pull out on a 670 hp lexus with just that and exaust
