224/224 .581"/.581" 112' LSA
is that TOO wild for a Z06 with stock heads ?

Re: cam question (KDubb)
With proper PCM tuning it would be fine for any application... Taking off from a deadstop may require a bit of getting used to with the lump of the cam and higher idle, but I doubt you would care once you felt the power! :yesnod:
Obviously make sure you do valvesprings and pushrods at the same time as the cam install.

Re: cam question (KDubb)
I've got a 224/228 .581/.588 114 LSA cam with ported LS6 heads on my '01 coupe, and don't think it's too wild at all. The 112 will give you a bit more idle lope, though. I just did the Bloomington Gold cruise on Saturday, and spent 45 minutes idling waiting for the 749 cars in front of me to get through a stop sign, and had no trouble at all. The car is very drivable.
Good luck,
Collin

Re: cam question (KDubb)
I'm running almost the same cam (224/224, 581/581, 113LSA) in a stock piston, stock headed '98 (see my sig.). This is a great cam for an MN6 car with no idle or drivability problems. I dyno'd the car last week (386RWHP/368RWTQ) and also ran it at the track with stock injectors and no tuning (114.25 mph)... I only have a slight rolling idle with the A/C on, I'll do a T/B hole next. I'm using the 915 spring (105# on the seat) with no problem up to 6600 rev limit... I would not recommend hard pushrods, the stock ones work great and if you ever get piston to valve contact, the pushrod will bend rather than the valve... Go for it...
