How much do you have to spend? You can't just change the cam. You are looking at valve springs, pushrods, timing chain (not necessary, but a damn good idea) maybe the oil pump..So it isn't going to be cheap. Also, what other mods do you currently have? M6 or A4?

Save the $ and rebuild your stock rockers with the Comp Cams trunion rebuild kit. They work just fine. Pick up a used cam in the for sale section. You will need upgraded pushrods and double valvesprings. The stock ls1 intake with ported tb does a good job on a budget. Mill the heads for more compression. Check P to V clearance if you do. Racing isn't cheap!
