Which cam would you choose for a C5 Z06? Engand Green Mayhem II or LG G5X3? Stock with Long tubes, CAI, No cats, and Ti bypass on the mufflers. Would take car to the manufacturer for install and tune.

Even with you providing cam specs, it is a loaded question. We have no idea what you are trying to do with the car now or in the future.

Sorry, love the sound of the big cam, wanting to know the choice for most HP and torque. Not a daily driver, don't want any valve to piston issues. Love the sound of the England Green shaft. Wanting something to pull like hell without any other mods other than listed.

You can't just slide a cam in there. You need springs, etc. Have a forum sponsor recommend a kit. Don't purchase something that will negatively affect future mods.

Once again sorry, for you slow people. When I said I would have the appropriate manufacturer install it they would know what to do with it. Example the right springs, timing chain upgrade, oil pump upgrade etc. I will let them tell me what I need extra, just wanting to know about about personal experiences with each. Go back to battling evil.

Your right, anyone that installs a cam will tell you what you will need, Springs, Pump and I would go with England Green Mayhem II and the tuner will ask what type of driving and what type of use you use your C5 for, and he will tune it accordingly and you will be happy.
