Default Most aggressive cam with no lope?

I have an 01 Z06 that I am going to forge for nitrous and open up the heads and intake. It also has longtubes with cats and the stock Ti catback.

What's the most aggresive/biggest cam I can put in without being detectable by listening to the exhaust? The pistons can be notched since they will be aftermarket. I am going to use 3.90 gears and a 7K rev limiter (even if peak is 6500).

Thanks!

a cam with about a 112-114lsa and about 6-8degrees bigger on the exhaust duration to get the gasses out easier.

I'd be careful generalizing LSA as creating "lope"

Turbo buick LC2 camshafts were 106 LSA from the factory.

Our SI-Torque cam for the trailblazer SS is 111.5 LSA yet has negative overlap at .050" not a hint of lope.

Generally yes a tighter LSA Generally has more overlap more lope.

I learn something new everyday...I didnt know that before but ill keep it mind all I know is that my MS4 cam is a lopey SOB. But I was right about the duration needs for a nitrous app. right?
