Default Cam Spec question 2006 Z06

Would a cam with these specs maintain stock or near stock drivability?

Ultimate Custom Cam (Int. dur @.050 244, Exh dur @.050 254, Lift int/exh .675)

This is all I know about it and do not know much about cam specs, please let me know all you can.

I would say no, that's a pretty big cam. Do a search for Street Bully.

This cam is installed on a car I am looking to buy, I am trying to find out how "bad" it will be to drive in traffic.

Checkout the cams I am interested in:

These are borderline driveability - I am pretty tolerant of bad idle and bucking. Closest would probably be the punisher cam. Search on Youtube to see the idle

That cam is too big for the stock heads. I have the Black Widow from QM on E85 and I love it.

I'd guess around 550-570whp. Maybe the seller will let you drive it around to get the feel if you can deal with it or not. If it's a really good deal you can always swap out a milder cam if you can't live with it, and still be money ahead

Yea, thats what I am looking to do. Problem is I am a good 8 hours away from the car. Just trying to make sure the car is somewhat close to what I am looking for before I drive that far. Thanks again everyone who posted!

No, however I plan on going up there this weekend, if I do not buy something before then. The cam swap sounds like an excellent option. The deal is good especially since the other mods I would deffinately do anyway. The car is at coughlincars in ohio if anybody has any more info on the car please feel free to let me know about it.
