Question Cam

I'm more of a noob to this site, but I'm just being curious.
What would be a could cam/heads set up for my 02 z28, I want more power, yet I don't want it to majorly mess with the idle or a ton with the sound. What would be a good cam/heads set up that would gain decent power and do this?
Don't feel obligated to answer if it's a beyond stupid question, I'm just wanting some real RWHP, and good sound just like every other LS1 junkie

its not a stupid question,just a expensive one.what mods have or will you do to your car?whats your budget?how or who will tune it ?what gears and stall will you be using?for a nice daily driver done on a real world budget ,a set of used 243s heads with a EPS cam can net you 420 rwhp.or a TSP head/cam pkg ,stage 1 ls6 heads and a 228r cam can make 420+ rwhp.if you give enough blood, look at a vengeance racing head/cam pkg.just some ideas for you to consider in your search for more speeding tickets.
