cam recomendations
I have on 03 z06 (obviously a manual 6spd) with 83k miles that is a daily driver and a track car on weekends. I am looking for recommendations for a mild-moderate cam with less than .600 lift that will give a decent power bump across rpm without really loosing low end, and a somewhat mean sounding idle without having terrible street/ daily manners nor take too big of a s**t on mpg either. I know I'm probably asking for a unicorn of a cam but the ones I have in mind or similar are: TSP 224r or 224/228 both 112lsa .600/.600, Tick performance's torquemax stage 1 milder lobes 222/226 111+2lsa .600/.600 or Cam Motion's titan 2 221/226 112+2lsa .595/.586. Current mods are 1 3/4" LT headers into 3" high flow cats 3" x-pipe into stock titanium mufflers (upgrading to corsa mufflers or similar after cam), full vararam ram air/ cold air intake into stock ls6 TB and ls6 manifold. After cam plan on getting the stock ls6 heads cnc ported or find a pair of ls6 heads already ported and then sell mine, then upgrade to 90mm TB and Fast 92 manifold after the cam and heads.

If you want a little hot rod lope to the idle, but even more power and still very good drivability, step up to the Titan 4 LS1 camshaft. We are glad to make you a custom version with .595" total lift at NO EXTRA CHARGE.
We also have all of the complimentary components that you may need for installation including: Valve Springs, Lifters, Gaskets, Pushrods, Fasteners etc. In stock and ready to ship.

The Cam Motion Titan 2 LS1 camshaft is a great camshaft for a daily driver. It will have a mild, slight performance idle with drivability much like stock and an excellent power increase.

I have seen a few video and audio clips of the "normal" Titan 4 and it sounds aggressive. Would this revised version with .595/.595 lift sound about the same at idle? What kind of springs would you suggest for use with this cam?
