Default Need a cam recommendation

'02 LS1 with the LS6 intake, car has an intake, headers and dual 2.5" exhaust.

I'm looking for a mild cam that will pass emissions (they put the car on a dyno with a sniffer in it and drive it) and make in the neighborhood of 375-390rwhp with a tune.

I was looking at the Texas Speed 224R cam package, but they won't drop ship to my shop. I'm in a bit of a time crunch, so I can't have them send it to my house so I can turn around and send it to the shop.

So what other cams out there do you recommend?

TIA!

^This! I recently posted this info in another thread. eps is producing big numbers on very mild grinds. I have been more impressed with his custom 226 over any other shelf grind out there... not to mention the eps lobes are really easy on valve springs, wich is a big + imo!

if you are trying to pass emissions, i dont know if you can go bigger than a 224/224 114. I think thats the biggest CA guys are running also. If you cant get hooked up with TSP give Thunder racing a call or Speed Inc.
