Streetable cams
 

What are some of the best cams for a D16Z6....I would like a cam thats Street/race. What do they run.. usually close to 400 ? or 3 something? ANd how much power does this roll out in the Rpm range it works? 10 hp ? Or i should say how much do they CLAIM to put out? a stock Z6 has about 135 whp or around there ? :'(

as long as we're on the topic, what does anyone think about the ZEX cams?

Re: Streetable cams
 

stock z6 has 100 whp. zex cams are good for the price. For built motors crower and web have some good ones. The more agressive cams need springs/retainers the zex street cam does not. For mild applications this is the best choice. Should see 7-8 whp with proper tuning on fuel/ignition

Listen to this guy, he know's what he's talking about :D Heh, I just got a Zex/Compcams street/strip cam part number 59300 for my Z6 head. I read up on it before buying it and from what I've heard, due to the steep ramp angles of the lobes, the valve train can be quite noisy. I did get a set of their Z6 springs and ti-retainers as well because the 59300 recommends it, the 59100 (I beleive thats the street cam) will work with the factory valve train.

I have the Formally called ZEX, now Competition Cams 59300.
The valve train is noisey, but she's a heavy breather.

Yup, same one I have. I didn't know what name to call it ;) I have yet to install them. They had a backorder on the ti-retainers so I'm still waiting for those, but I hear Vtec hits pretty hard with them. Any truth to this Iflyby?

You'll like it. ;)
I ran it N/A first and then boosted with it.
