Default Cam Question

Is anyone using this cam? 224/228 .570/.570 113 lsa? Any pros cons? Want to go faster but not at the expense of fuel milage and temper tantrums of cold start burpping.

Without knowing your starting place you'll only be guessing if you just pick a cam of a different duration. As for increased lift that's always more power if your not lifting past the satuaration point of increased cfm of port flow. The only down side is spring life.

Your above cam is relatively mild. Although it's probably above emission compliance and with increased duration gas mileage does go down. :) Not that a Z06 owner should even care! I would not be to sad about going from near 30 to 25 mpg
