Hey guys im wanting to put a cam in my c5. my old ta had lt's, straight pipe, ms4 cam, 4000 vig stall and a tsp tune, i daily drove it for 2 years til i sold it. my vette i have had for 7 months and ive put 3,000 miles on it, so its not a daily driver. I have a new set of prc stage 1.0 ls6's and a ported FAST 92mm intake manifold that was gonna go on my ta but i sold it before i had a chance to install the parts..so....so far i have the heads, intake, 1 3/4 lts and a vararam system. i DO NOT want to put a stall or change gears!! it does have the 2.73's which sucks but ill dont want to change them. ok now to the cam lol i was looking at a comp lsr cam its called the thumpr here are the specs

I've been to Friona a few times back in the day

Checkout the 220R camshaft, we've done them & the 224R several times with stock verters. Both should work well with a little bit of tuning & still drive good with the stock verter!

That thumpr should give you what you are looking for IMO. It will have a nice chop on that tight LSA, drive pretty good on your stock TC and I would guess pick up 30 +/- HP. It will be easy on springs too. I would put more gear in at some point though.....
