cam only guys come in........
I have a 2003 Z06 i plan on doing a cam install this winter. I already have LG PRO longtubes with no cats and B&B prt exhaust. I also have a halltech stinger intake and want to know what cam you guys are running on stock heads and how do you like it, and if its your daily driver tks

you will probably get a lot of opinions... what it it really boils down to to is what you want out of it. Daily driver may imply to go with a mild cam (MTI stealth). Is emissions testing an issue? Will you track the car? etc. I don't drive my daily but wanted a milder cam and went with MTI's Stealth II. My other mods are similar to yours (see profile). After a tune from Extreme Motorsports, I have extremely happy so far ... but it will be a new year soon (can you say gears). In any case, have fun with it

I have an MTI X1 in my Z with LT's and Stinger intake. Driving isn't bad. No surge with my tune, it does come close to stalling every once in awhile, but doesn't. Could bump the idle up a bit. If you do edit yourself, you will have to bump the cracker up alot so that it doesn't stall itself. I don't mind driving it at all, but some I know don't like it that much. I did get 42rwhp off of it.
Hope it helps in some way.

Tough question... Cams are like suits, its basically personal preference.
I opted for a small Thunder Racing reverse split 230/224 275/265 on a 111LSA. This cam has netted 398RWHP on my stock head 99FRC. I prefer the low LSA becasue it gives me the Old School Big Block lope.
If I was to do it agian I would likely get a Texas Speed Torquer R2.

I put in a mild cam in my 04' Z06 form Thunderracing. I believe it's 224/227 114 cam and I have the same mods as you. LG Pro Headers, Vararam B2 and B&B Bullets. I pulled 407 RWHP and 398RWTQ
Daily Driver, very calm at idle with a little lope. Sounds real good.

I have almost the same mods as you do and i installed the G5x-3 from LG motorsports. They did a mail order tune on it and it is very streetable in my case because mine is a daily driver also. I will be getting a dyno tune soon so it will run ever better with more power. i think you will enjoy whatever cam you decide on !
