Default Engine mods/upgrades

Have a 2015 Z07.M7. Was having forged internals put in on an engine rebuild. Anyone who has changed out the CAM shaft to increase power, how did that affect everyday low/moderate speeds and stop and go traffic?

Thanks.

The bigger the cam the less "friendly" it will be. You need to determine what your power goals are. You can make 700rwhp with the bone stock cam and engine in a Z06 if you have the right mods.

Look at a BTR stage II cam if you want a little more with a stick car the stage III cam & get that crap springs & lifters out of her at the same time.
