Cam or Spray???
Okay guys,
Thinking of either doing a Cam or adding a 100 hp wet shot.
I welcome your personal opinion on the subject.
I know I can get more power out of the nitrous kit, but the cam would have better power for everyday use.
What do you think horse power wise I could get out of a Cartek 2x or 3x cam only. Would I have to make other modifications to the car (i.e. springs... etc.)? Oh and the car is a daily driver at the moment.
Untuned the car put down 383 RWHP and 370 RWTQ
Car is a 2003 Z06

Thanks for taking a look and commenting.

spray
spray is fun but too much of a hassel. Every time we were scrambling to get the bottle filled. We did put the cam in first though..so we just took all the spray stuff off and now run 12.88 NA on our Silverado.

Go with the cam in my opinion. Check this 4200 lb heavy load out, then and just think what your 3100 lb Z will do (private old strip of course, not on the highway)!!!

Thanks to everyone for the posts.
I think I am going to go for the Cam.
What cam does eveyone recommend (with stock LS6 heads)? I would like to get as close to 440 RWHP as possible. The car is a daily driver, but I only drive about 6 miles to work and then on the weekends. I would like a nice Lobe (anti stealth).
Oh and it would see Track duty a couple times a month (1/4 mile).
Thanks again for all the help.
