Default GM Performance Cam for LS!?

I have a '98 Z-28. I've recently ordered SLP long tube headers with high performance catalystic converters, a ported throttle body, LS6 intake and LS6 heads. I'd like to keep the car all GM and driveable. Does GM performance offer a cam that would deliver more horsepower and performace than the stock LS1 cam already in the car? Thanks for your input.

The ASA is:
226/236 duration
.525 lift
110 LSA

Hot cam
218/228 duration
.525 lift
112 LSA

The ASA will obviously make more power over the hotcam. Though not much.

Yeah....pretty much comes down to mild or wild lope between the 112 lsa on the hott cam an the 110 lsa on the asa cam. Search asa cam on yahoo an listen to a couple of idle clips.

To give you an idea of the power difference GMPP puts both the ASA and Hot Cam in the Ls 376 crate motor. The ASA cam is in the 515 HP version and the Hot Cam is in the 480 HP version. As was mentioned the ASA is more agressive and makes power in a higher RPM range.
