I have a 99z with long tubes, ls6 intake, 9 inch, all the suspension mods, Patriot ls6 ported heads at 10.5:1 compression, and Texas Speed 233 239 112.
The cam doesn't seem to work very well. Is the overlap bad for my setup? It dynoed at 401TQ and 350HP.
I like my powerband in the higher RPM's and plan on spraying a 150 shot in the future.
Can anyone recommend a good cam for my setup? Also could you post some dyno results for the recommended cam?
Thanks in advance for advice...

Well, in order to not make the car a dog down low with a larger camshaft you need more compression.
If your not worried about it being a dog below 3500 RPM's...than a HP goal your trying to reach or ET your trying to reach at 3XXX amount of weight would help us help you.

1st off I think you have hp and tq confused, it problably made 400hp and 350tq. I have the same heads and run a vrx5 236/238 113 lsa and its going to be on a 2 stage 150 shot. I will let you know how it does on the bottle.

Sorry I was reading for my 402 N/A and I wrote a bunch of babble on your post I am sorry the cam you want to look at from thunder racing that will give you good performance for Nitrous would be their " CheaTR v.3" - 219/230 .607/.604 117 LSA . Again my apologies.
