Daily Driver Cam?
What is a good cam that will make decent power but have excellent driveablility? I'm not planning on changing out the heads. I was looking at the LGM G5 cam. Specs are 224/230 .581/.572 on a 114lsa. Would this cam have some idle to it? Thanks and any suggestions are welcome.

I have an F11-112 from Futral Motorsports. You can tell that I have a cam at idle, gained power and torque across the rpm band, and I drive it all the time in stop and go traffic. Let me know if you want to know more about it.

How much HP gain are you talking about on the F11 cam? Do you have any other supporting mods to go with it? I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth investing the money on a bone stock z for the power thats to be gained from a cam upgrade only. Thanks

I can't speak for the F11, but with ECS's custom cam, I gained 70rwhp. I already had headers and hi flow cats. same Cam as in BUBBAS 01Z06 video, stock untouched heads.

I had an SS Camaro with a F13 cam and drove it everyday, and now the Z has a pretty stout cam 
and it's driven everyday through city/highway/gridlock traffic...

For those kind of gains without going into heads or anything else I'll invest in a cam swap in a heartbeat.
