How much does cam/install cost?
I want to match a Z06 I plan to get full exhaust, intake,4.11, 1.85rr and Ls6 manifold. I was told I need a Cam also to match a Z06
How much would it cost to install a cam including including all the extras? As in springs and stuff
Do not want to do heads right now!
I am going for the stealth cam from MTI

Bigger rockers = half assing it, plus you can float a valve easier with most xe/xer cams. Someone selling you something will do exactly that.
Just spec out your cam correctly.
The stockers will be just fine.

I couldn't have said it better.
