Need ProCharged LSX Help (cam and boost)

I just picked up a 98 Camaro with a D1. Engine is pretty much stock. Other than headers and of course the blower. I am looking to change the cam to try and make a little more power. Need advice on the cam? Also need to know how much boost to put to a stock bottom end? Any advice on heads will be appreciated. And last. Which program should I buy to tune the car with? I know there is quite a few out there. But is one any better than the other?

I also got a set of heads with the car. GM castings. Is there a website where these can be identified? Need to see if they are worth having or not.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Criss

I agree Chris, I would keep he stock heads on there and keep it around 8 psi of boost. The Lingenfelter GT2-3 camshaft is a great cam to add for forced induction. I would not try to tune the car yourself if you have never tuned a forced induction engine. Bob

I would like a healthy sounding cam. Not overkill on the blower though. I got out of a solid roller smallblock in a ProStreet Nova.
Stall Up, how did the cam sound in your car? How many miles are on it?

Exotic Performance, Can you give me more info on the cam. Where can I find it? PRICE$$$ also please?

Thanks,

Our blower cam sounds more like what you are looking for. Here it is. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=679
