Default Yet another cam selection?

I'm looking for a cam that'll pull hard to 6800 but is somewhat tunable for little surge at very low cruising rpms. Or is that even possible on a Stock Bottom End LS1?

At first I thought T-Rex, MS4, etc... but I heard that they don't like being under 2k. Which is a bit high for when i'm driving around passed midnight.

So now i'm a little unsure about what cam will help me get my 120mph trap without sacrificing my 1500rpm driving.

i have a 228/232. That is a perfect cam. it pulls all the way till 6500... Mine is also cut on a 110. If i had to do it again, i woudl get it cut on a 112. the 110 is too tight. i had a lot of tunning issues.

idle clip in sig and numbers in sig too

So if you got it on a 112... what would that be accomplishing as far as tuning goes? And doesn't the 110lsa help the cam make that power up top?

So i'm guessing you have little to no cam surge when cruising between 1000-2000k rpms?

Cam surge should not exist if the tuner is good. (assuming mechanicaly the setup is correct <not to diss any tuner >

being cut on a 112, means that the amount of degrees you have in the cam makes it easier to tune. The 110 helps in the uppers R's.. Yup you have done your homework...

I have 'bucking' at 1500 RPMs. the car is making no powers and there is no load on the car. Get a gear and should be good to go. I prolly could use a little more timing too...
