. but thats definately a nice price for that 220. 
thinking about a cam
Cams go up for sale all the time. That one is pretty cheap though. What brand is it? Is it the MTI Stealth? Since you are in California, that would be a good cam for you. But you can go up to 224/224 114 which is what I'm doing. I will still be able to pass emmisions, but just barely.
A 220/220 114 will pass emissions without a tune, the 224/224 114 will pass emissions WITH a tune. The 224 will sound cool; the 220 will sound almost stock. I say wait for a deal on a 224 then get a tune. Otherwise, you may end up buying two cams instead of one, which is more expensive in the long run.

thanks ... i'll keep my eyes peeled for that 224. 224 114...
Another ?. Will i need need springs and rockers for that 220 220- 114 cam? I currently have a 98' camaro. But here's the deal. I spun a bearing. Baught a used Late 2001 LS1 LONG block with the LS6 block and bottom end from Gene's Kar shop... Can I use those springs and valves?
Not sure on who made the cam. I was guessing Thunder?
the car is going to be an Auto-X car.. not so much Drag...
Thanks Joel

For either the TR220 or TR224 Thunder recomends Comp 918 springs. The stock springs even from a late 2001 aren't good for anything other than the stock cam.
Even for AutoX I'd still go with the 224 cam over the 220, in fact if you were not in California I would recomend a 230 cam.

whats the lift of the cam, if its a thunder then i believe its .553. if the springs you have (which i doubt unless you have ls6 heads) are ls6 springs you can use those, there good for .560 lift i believe. i'd get some new ones though, the manley kit is nice 178 from SDPC and comes with tit. retainers. your stock rockers are fine.

If I was you I would go with a nice 232 cam 
I put in the 224/224 cam and it feels good, but It feels weak. the jerkiness isn't there but the sink in the seat after 3500 rpms is there thats for sure Hell I ran a 13.1 with a 2.1 60ft (first time to track) I bogged big time and a formula got the jump on me. He ran a 12.5 and I know if I would of launced my car right I would ran that or if not a tad lower. I had to play the catch up game and reel him in

ahhhhh didn't realize it was california . Time to start lookin for some good friends out there in that sate that run the emissions testing.
Well time to go with the 224/224 might wanna go with the 114 cuz your powerband will be more spread out instead of a high peak like the 112
