Nothing wrong working with stock castings and a small cam. That's what I did.

These are crank numbers.



And at the wheels.

changing my stock heads and intake with stock Z06 heads and intake.
i plan on buying a T-rex cam with these specs 242/248-.608/.612-110LSA from Thunder Racing.

New bee hive valve springs, push rods and 1.7 rockers
Long tube header and exhausts

computer tuned.

any suggestion on what else i can do or should not do will be greatly appreciated.

*****note: this vette is not going to be street racing is just going to be for cruising.*********

Thank you.

Like everyone else has already said, that's a MONSTER cam, and would not be fun to drive on the street. If you haven't ridden in a big cam car or driven one it's hard to understand. I'm experiencing it for my self, and I love it... but I'm glad it's not my DD.
