Default El torro cam or???

My last car (2000 Formula) had a stock LS1, LS6 heads/intake and the TSP Torquer 2 cam with an M6 headers and 4.10's. Was pretty happy overall with that car.

New project:
99 C5 vette, M6 and stock 3.42 gears for now but will be upgrading to 4.10's down the road with 160 stat, Z06 titanium catback and LG cold air.
I'll be running the stock short block (low miles). Just bought LS6 intake, 243 heads and LT's.

It's a weekend only toy, so it's not a daily driver. Car will see the strip from time to time but will need to be able to handle a road trip from time to time.

I was thinking another Torquer 2, but it seems like there are a lot of nice cam options out there now. I was reading about the "el torro" and was intrigued with some of the threads I read about that cam.

Where do you get it?
Other options?

Thanks.
Marc

For your plan you might want to look at the MS3 also. I'm running the Trickflow 238/242 .595/.595 112lsa infront of a 3,800 stall and daily drive mine, plus its under .600" lift so the comp 918s won't get beat to death
