Default What cam for weekend street car? Speed inc S15, VR Vinidicator or TSP Tsunami

I have my car apart and I'm ready for a cam swap! I have stock 243's I'm putting on at the same time. I have 3 cams in mind. The Speed Inc S15, TSP Tsunami and the VR Vinidicator. My car has mods in sig and is a weekend street car only. Any info would be great. I'm going to replace oil pump and timing chain while I'm at it.

60512 lunati voodoo. They have the best lobe design. Ive had them in multiple engines and they are awesome cams.

I like the Specs on the SI5v2 and SI6 best.

For your gear/converter and unported heads I second the S15v2 or the very
similar EPS 230/238.....both are ground by Comp however the EPS lobes tend
to be nice and quiet if valvetrain noise is a concern of yours.

TSP 233/239 has worked well in my C5Z. I think the SNL v.X would be a good choice as well

i would think a tsunami cam would be too aggressive but just my opinion i would use that if i had a set of fully ported 243's but not stock ones
