Default Camshaft

Looking to Upgrade the Camshaft in my 98 C5, Any opinions would be appreciated. Not wanting anything to Radical just wanting a little more HP without Breaking the Bank. TIA

Three pedals or two will guide you towards better opinions.

Definitely need more info. As mentioned, man or auto? Rear gear ratio? Any bolt-on mods? How many miles on engine and drive train? Daily driver, cruiser/show or occasional track time? You'll get plenty of opinions ranging from mild cams all the way to supercharging. 10 different experts, 10 different opinions.

On this same page is a thread from Prop Joe started in late January with a very similar goal. One of the things I see mentioned often that makes great sense to my mind is the idea of calling one or more of the suppliers for recommendations and reasoning. Looks to as though you could talk to Comp, Brian Tooley Racing, Thunder Racing, etc., and make use of their considerable professional experience.
