Well you dont want to flycut, and your wanting to go BIG and want THE CHOPPIEST IDLE POSSIBLE, then the TREX is about as big as you could run to my knowledge and is CHOPPY as it gets but will definately need a tune, duel valve springs (Comp Cams 921 or Patriots duels springs) and possibly some injectors. I dont think the Spec stage 2 clutch is enough you have is enough clutch with your 150 HP nitrous in my opinion. Stock springs are JUNK and do good to hold the stock cams in the LS1 motors. Thunder Racing is who sell the cam and all the accessories if you dont know. I hope you get what you want.
Good Luck

Do you just want the biggest most radical cam you can run without fly cutting? Or do you want a cam that will actually make the car fast and still have a good sound? If you over cam your car just for the sound your leaving a lot on the table performance wise.

Check out our Polluter cam, both in the dyno forum and at the following link. It loves the bottle.
