Skenny what shop in WV were you going to take your car to and where is it? I don't know of any performance shops in WV. I would go to one recommended on here as I am going to do when I have my car built and tuned.

That cam would not be an upgrade from the current cam in your Z06. It has slightly more duration, but less lift.
I personally went with the 228R cam, which is a very popular choice. It adds noticable power everywhere and has a good lope at idle. My fuel mileage around town is a little lower because I always have my foot in it. But on the highway I still get 33+ mpg on a long cruise. Still drives like stock.

I'm not sure where you are in WV but there is a couple shops in Pikeville Ky if interested I will find you phone numbers! I am actually gonna do the cam and headers myself and get one of those shops to tune it for me!

I had the V3 for a summer and it made good power...........with full bolt-ons it made 440rwhp/411rwtq.
Here is an old vid of the idle quality....LT's, x-pipe, no cats and bullets (for sound reference).

Looking back......I wish someone would have told me to call Geoff @ EPS. Because thats what I run now....those XER/LSK lobes are rowdy on the V3.
Thanks..............

What he said^^^^^
Geoff Skinner is the owner of Engine Power Systems in Baton Rouge, LA. For reference he was the creator/owner of Thunder racing, but after a divorce his wife got the company(from my understanding)...so he started EPS. He is the sole creator of such famous cams as the T-rex and TR224. He is one sharp dude when it come to valve events based on engine and car combinations.
He will custom grind you a cam for your engine and it will cost relatively the same as a shelf cam....and maybe less depending on who's shelf cam you had in mind.
Matter of fact....there are several EPS, 346" cars running around with 500+ to the tire....wink, wink.....
Here is a link to his site.

Our 226/230 cam work real nice
This are the results on a C5-non Z06, Z06 would make more power.

Our stage 2 blower cam 226/238 has a nice lope and not give up much as far as fuel economy either.
We are having a cam/spring/pushrod sale next week for $750.00
