Default Quick question

Would installing a Z06 cam in an f-body be worth it? What kind of hp/tq gains would it give? Also, would an 01 Z06 cam work fine with a 99 T/A? LOL one last question, what is a good price for a Z06 cam?

Thanks,

Joe

Im also looking at an 02 Z06 cam. Can someone tell me what all I need to get, for the cam to work fine with the LS1?

Thanks,

Joe

I cant anwer all your questions, but I think a Z06 cam would be really mild in an fbody. Especially without the Z06 heads to compliment it. I dont have the specs in front of me, but I think as far as performance cams go its pretty mild. Do a search and you should find the specs. :cheers:

The reason Im looking at a Z06 cam is because I can get it for $200-300 cheaper than other cams. I want a cam that sounds stock but is going to give me some horsies.

I think it would be worth a decent gain. Nothing that you're really going to feel, but I would guess a 15 RWHP increase. Plus, the sound will remain about the same.
