Cam and Header Help Please!!!!!!
Hey guys! Looking at putting a bigger cam along with new aftermarket headers on my 03 Z. Can you guys give me some suggestions on which of these to go with? On the cam i am looking for overall performance with a nice lope but not crazy. My car is stock and i will not be supercharging it in the future. Any suggestions i would appreciate, thanks!

For a cam choice, I'd recommend something midsize. If carefully selected, it'll increase your DCR, and maximize the most used area of your powerband, the midrange. All without affecting mileage, or drivability too much. You need to be aware of some of the finer points of valve events, but you won't end up with a peaky power band. Headers first, of course. I've got the LG pros, and just added MM cats earlier this year. I think the AR, Kooks, and Dynatechs (and others) are just about as good, with the exception of some being more difficult to install. I did all the work myself, in a small garage, with no lift, but I didn't need the car to DD, so I could take my time.
