What modification have been done to the car/engine..?
Are you looking for a smooth idling stock like cam, mild lope/chop, heavy...?
How about the power band, what rpm range.?
Also, does it need to pass emissions testing (sniffer test) ?

Call nick fastlaneturbo.com or call mike at fastlane here in houston if its a stock car then your going to need to at least install a cold air and some long tubes to open it up some at get the air out otherwise your not going to get the benifit of the camshaft.. i would call them nick has done a lot for me...but something in the 220/220's with no more than 580 lift on a 112 would give you some good street power and keep it driveable but like everyone else said without knowing what your planning on doing its really hard to say for sure .good luck

I'm looking for almost stock idle so that if u didn't know anything about motor u would think it was exhaust yes it needs to pass ct emissions as far as rpm range not sure if I have down pipe instead of cats and open elec cuttoffs w what I thought my car cam w ls6 air intake w ram air? Is that freeing air up enough?

I'd get a SLP air lid, Powerbound 25% UD crank pulley, and you'll definitely want to get the heads cnc ported and milled or buy a set of AFR 205-210 heads to reach your goal.

Being from CT, your going to need some real good heads if you want emissions compliance, stock idle, 400whp, while using stock exhaust manifolds. My suggestion would be AFR 210 heads, LT headers, and FAST 92/92. For a camshaft call Martin at Tick Performance, or Ed Curtis at FTI to see what they would recommend. Good Luck and hopefully see your car at the turnpick.

The heads are a must, since you want somewhat stealthy cam(smaller cam with less overlap). I'd suggests a FAST 92 intake manifold since you'll be leaving power on the table with running the stock exhaust manifolds. For cams something like the Ticks emissions friendly cam(218/230 117lsa+2), which has -10* overlap, or a little larger with a 221(lsl)/228(xe) 116lsa+4 w/-7.5* overlap
