Default 1998 c5 cam question

My car has a slight tune for the cold air intake, x-pipe and no mufflers. I have about 110,000 miles and would like to put a cam in it without doing anything to the trans/stall. Which cam would u recommend?

Thanks

dano

No more than a 224 deg on a 114 or even 115 LSA without a stall

More than that and you'll probably regret it.

Agreed. Something along these lines would work great for you.

224/224 .609/.600 114 LSA

it'll be hard to tune it to prevent it from pushing through the stock converter at a stoplight but you can get it pretty close / acceptable... similar to mine, but I finally put a 3000 stall in it....

A 224 or smaller would not be, those size cams are easily tunable with a stock stall.
