LT-5 Camshafts - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I'm looking to upgrade the cams in my '91. Can anyone give me any advice on who to go through or where I can look? I'd like to find some pretty stout ones that will give it a real mean lope.

Thanks

you'd probably be better off just retiming the stock cams

I agree. The stock cams are pretty darn good. Retiming the cams along with some top end porting would be money well spent.

Thanks for the replies, if I did choose to re-time the cams, what is the optimal cam advance?
