Thanks man!

[@_____Justin______]

Obsessive Hobbies this cam is not good for boost because of the valve overlap. You would want something with a wider lobe separation angle for that. As for the car, it was like a completely new car after the cam. It went from kinda quick the a pretty fast car lol. Drivability is great, but that’s all in the tune. That’s the biggest thing with these cars. You NEED a really good tuner.

I have a 98 auto trans C5. I was looking at like a btr stage 3 cam or this one sounds nice too. Which would you suggest that sounds mean, gives power and idc too much about mpg even though my daily for now is my C5. Any other mods I should do when getting the cam so other things don't break or what? Thanks man!

[@_____Justin______]

GreyC5 well since you have an auto you’re definitely gonna want a new converter with a higher stall. Also you need valve springs, retainers, pushrods, and some ls7 lifters since ours are prone to lose their retaining pins with higher lift cams. As for which cam, that’s really up to you. I’d go for something with really good mid range. Something with super high lift is just gonna push your power band up higher. Maybe btr stage 2?

[@614XJ]

Air Force Vette Thanks for the quick reply! And alright I'm making a list and looking around for deals. And I'm not too sure what the mid range and stuff you're talking about. But what's the difference between the stage 2 and 3 cam? And should I consider new gears, or a pulley to get faster acceleration?

[@614XJ]

Like yours sounds great! I wonder what mine would be with the magnaflow exhaust. I just have a blackwing cai and magnaflow performance exhaust no mufflers or resonators. Need a little more noise from my boy. I want it to raise hell and be angry just sitting there. The stage 2 what I heard from a video on a ls1 C5 sounded ok, maybe they had mufflers or something lol

[@_____Justin______]

GreyC5 you need longtubes lol. Do all the basic bolt ons first, then the cam. That thing is gonna be sucking some air with a nice big cam so you want it to be able to breathe as efficiently as possible. I love the cam I have but it’s actually very mild for our cars. I’d suggest a tsunami, a bald eagle cam, or any other Texas speed cams. They make great power! Just be sure to do all of the valve train upgrades needed for the cam. The high lift cams are rough on the valvetrain

[@614XJ]

Awesome thanks for advice man

[@bart132486]

so did you end up having to flycut or no also did you ending up doing a timing set?
