Cheater Cam?
Am looking to do some mods and my performance shop mentioned a cheater cam as an option to what I am doing. Did not want to sound silly to him, but am more than happy to ask you guys.
Currently have stock '07 MN6 Z51 and will be adding Vararam, 180T, Kooks headers, X-pipe, and Corsa Sports. When asked about what else I could do he mentioned the cheater. What is it? Either upgrade the existing cam or not, right?

A "cheater" cam is one that is "stealthy", hard to detect by the casual observer. Usually has modest lift and duration, fairly wide LSA.
The CheatR cam mentioned in the previous post is a specific "stealth" type cam offered by one of the forum vendors, fits the description above, but does have a fairly high lift. Do a search and you can find the vendor and specifications.
