cam question
I have a 2001 Z06 with long tube headers and a Halltech air intake. The car still has the stock cam. Thinking about a cam swap for a daily driver, may see the track once a year. I would like to see what other forum members are running and how they like it. I've been looking at cams in the mid 220's intake and low 230's exhaust.

I've been running a 224/232 610/610 114+1 for over a year now. Drives
like stock unless you push the go pedal down. This with an auto with
3:42 gears. No surging or idle problems like I had with my last cam.
Even with my new Bridgestone Potenza Re050a that are pretty sticky tires it still spins the tires for several seconds at 30mph. Couldn't be happier
and it's got all the power I want. I do have headers and trickflow 220
heads also.

Had a 233/239 113 until I had a lifter go. Infact my thead is on the 1 pg of C5 tech if you care to look at the carnage. Along with Boltons, that setup made 412/380. My new cam is a custom grind. 234/242 112+3 No numbers as of yet...

Thanks for all your reply's so far guys! Looking hard at 3 cams right now : Tick stage 1 223/226 600/600 111LSA +2
Brian Tooley stage 2 227/234 614/576 113+2
Spartin 228/232 113 LSA +2 After talking to bill, the spartin cam from Josh really sounds like what I'm looking for.
