Default Help Choosing a Cam

I don't know too much about cams, but have been doing some more research lately. I plan on getting a cam this coming summer and have been trying to figure out what I should go with. I know it's best to decide for myself and I already have an idea of what I want, but I figured I would see what everyone else thinks too. I have a '97 C5 M6 w/LS6 manifold, Blackwing intake, BBK 80mm TB, TSP 1 3/4" long tube headers & 3" off-road x-pipe with Borla Stingers. Everything else on the car is stock. I would like to go with heads at sometime, but it would be on down the road a couple years probably. Also, I don't have to worry about any emission testing here in Arkansas! The car is a daily driver, but I would like to start to take it to the track every now and then just for fun. I guess I'm looking for what would be a good performance street cam. What do you guys think I should go with?

228R or a HPE C cam.

There is a stick above about cam choices. Tons of useful information in there.

I love my hotcam!
Its easy on the springs.
I can ride with the AC on with no problems.
Awesome power under the curve, and gotta love that top end.
The sound is nice and choppy.
Just click on my SIG and scroll down to the videos for idle clip and during tuning!
But whatever you deside make sure you UPgrade and compliment your mods!
Goodluck bro

TR224 = The ultimate daily driver cam. 112 LSA if you want lope, 114 LSA if you want to pass a sniffer someday.
