Anyone out there running a Z06 cam in their 5.3 and still N/A?
I'm kicking around the ideas of turbos at a later date but figured I'd throw a 2002 Z06 cam in my 5.3 for now since a lot of people have good luck with them boosted, I'll be running it N/A for a while.
a friend of mine is about to have that exact setup, should be on the road in a week or two...
Still have my Z06 cam if interested.
Waste of time!!! Get a 220 or 224 once you realize how lil it picks up you'll be wanting to swap...
i know u mentioned your going boost later but yea z06 cam N/A just another oem cam lol get u a aftermarket cam or custom grind ...i ran the z06 cam n/a on my 4.8 and it ran the same
im running the z06 cam now and i kinda wish i went with more cam but for the price payed it good
I'll be happy to let cam and springs go for cheap. Z06 cam seems to work well with boost.
Guys over at sloppy mechanics are running a z06 cam and spring in their 4.8 truck runs 11's wth the turbo set up on it. you can look threw the videos shows more pulls and time at the strip.

it seems to be a good boosted cam but since he wants to go na for the time being i reccomend like a 212/218 low lift. more cam for na now and will still be good for boost later imo. unless your getting the z06 cam for free or hella cheap, i say go bigger, i think you will b disapointed otherwiseQuote:
