Get ready to the infamous SEARCH! reply by most members but I went with the TR224 cam which sounds nice, makes good power, great streetabilty, and isn't too radical. There are several cams to choose from and I agree with everyone thats going to reply, research, research, research! Call some sponsers on the left that sell cam's to help you in your decision. I am a fan of Thunder Racing personally. Also I notice that this is your first post, so I am not sure on how familiar you might be on whats involved in a cam upgrade, but check out this link ASAP It's an amazing write up and might help you decide on your cam as well.

Ive looked at the tr224, GM hotcam, and a few cams from comp cams, but im still unsure. and i would like to know if i should get new lifters, rocker arms, pushrods, valve springs, timing chain, and oil pump.

the cam package that tunder racing has pretty much everything that you need. You don't need dual valve springs with this cam, so go with the comp 918's. As far as to what LSA to get, the 114 will idle better than the 112, but the 112 will have a nicer sounding lope and I am not 100% sure about this, but I believe the lower the LSA, the more power. Also a dynotune is HIGHLY recommended after installing everything to get the most out of the cam.
EDIT: And I noticed you have a 2000, you might want to think about adding a LS6 Intake Manifold, as that can add an extra 15-20rwhp combined with a cam. Also I would get a ported/polished throttle body, ASP Pulley, and a stall and your car will move! Personally, I would buy a stall before a cam to begin with.

I have 2 buddies one has the tr224 112 and the other has the tr224 114. The 112 definatly has a better sounding idle. But remember there are bigger more powerfull cams out there than those. Checkout the tsp tourquer or some futral cams. Ive heard they are very sreetable and will bury the tr224 cams in power output.
