Default Cam selection help?

I'm possibly getting a cam kit for christmas from the rents and was wondering what are some good ones with the mods I currently have. I have a 99' Z28 with pacesetter longtubes, SLP LM1, FIPK ll filter and 4:10's. I need something good to drive around on everyday and that will make good power. I would love to get 400hp out of it! Any ideas?

Well, I've got the same mods, just not the 4:10's. I'm running a Torquer V2 on a 112* LSA. I love it so far, going soon to get it dyno tuned. I've heard of guys getting 400hp out of this cam with the same mods. 4:10's will really help with this cam too. Never heard of anyone not liking it. Also look at something like a 224 cam or a 228 cam, those would be more streetable than the TV2. But still, I have no problems with mine, and mine's a DD

Yeah I was looking at that one. It seems to be pretty good and make good power throughout. Honestly the main thing with any I get would be driving it everyday.

True. It took me about the same amount of time that you have to decide what cam I wanted
