Default Heads/Cam

Im looking for a bit of help. Im a new LS1 owner looking for a heads and cam combo. I see alot of threads on the subject but no one likes to put out cam specs. Im looking for close to 500rwhp auto trans car going on a 383 possible 408 short block. Streetable my idea on streetable is it can idle well im not heard from a mile away a/c blasting not and dont smell like a gas station. Similar to the power of a new z06 with its kind of manners. My intention with this post is hopefully get some prices from sponsors on what they have to offer. I dont need cam specs up front I just need to know it will be what I am looking for.

Default what you need

first for 500 at the wheel a 408 is a must. Afr 225 heads and 11.1 compression. Cam in the 240/242 on a 114Plus 4 would be my idea of a streetable combination.

I have seen cartek do this with their head/cam setup. Call them up. You will need a pair of 243 cores for them.

11.1 still sounds fair for pump gas. I got a 03 escalade (sp) with the 6.0 sitting in our impound yard collecting dust. Body is shot but it runs good so that block may find a new home in the t/a. I figure once I select cam then I can select stall/gear combo.

I was just checking cartek recent thread impressive numbers. They are one i have been looking at as well as afr and trickflow. I also like the numbers I see from the l92 heads but then I would have to do the ls2 conversion.
