No offense but find new ppl to listen too. Im not really sure what you are looking for but here is a couple of affordable suggestions. Get a used ls6 cam and springs stock idle more power. If your looking for a lopey idle with a little more power get an used asa cam. These cams are cheap and I think you can even get away without a tune if you choose, but to get the most out of it you will need a tune. You can probably pick up a ls6 cam for not much more then an good adjustable timing set which you would need to advance the stock cam. It would also be helpful if you listed the mods you have done to the car.
