Thinking Cam
06 Z51 6 spd.
Driven daily with lots of highway miles and some city.
Looking for performance mainly but streetable.
Any and all advice welcome.
Car has headers, Cats, K&N and tune.
Is it a waste of time?
I admit I miss the old muscle car days and the sound of a good cam also.

Go for the heads and cam. I had a Cartek 3X package(check their site for specs) and the car was completely streetable. In fact I drove it from Phila Pa. to Nevada/California ...raced for two days and then drove it home. With the proper tune you can have a very radical daily driver. I now added a supercharger and while my car is not a daily driver I will put about 12K miles on it this year.....Go for it

Give me a call if you are looking for a radical cam that you still can drive daily in traffic.

That cam is tunable for daily driving. Lope is function of idle speed. If you get too much lope, raise the idle speed to 800 - 850 rpm.
