Do yourself a favor and call a sponser,if its a street car I see no need to throw a huge cam in there,and I run a ms4 in my car (no fly cutting on stock heads) if your gonna go big on the cam just make sure ya set it up right,

you must consider dynamic pressure with combination needs,gears,stall ,weight,etc.get a custom cam.a shelf cam is hit or miss.a custom cam is taking in every thing and balancing it out .

So what is it you have: p&p tb, Bbk intake, or fast 78tb and fast 78 intake? either way you are looking for a big cam, are you not going to need air?
Sort out your TB & intake first

I'd look at the g5x3. A friend of mine went 11.60s at 116 with that cam, headers, 4k stall and dumped duals. Stock tb, ls6 intake, stock pulley, wheels, susp, everything else. Went 10.70s at 129 on a 150 shot. Very simple setup with a lot of stock parts that ran hard. It's all in the tune.

The 233/239 or the MS3 are great choices from TSP. Either one of those will get you great results.

the mystery specs on the EPS 230/238 are 0.600"/0.604" 112+2LSA... just ordered one for my car, so that'd be my choice

NO you cant reuse your stock head bolts!!!!!! Get some ARP bolts, you can reuse them 4-5 times..Good investment!

I'd go with the smaller cam too since your stall is not perfectly matched for top a end screamer cam.

I voted for the smallest cam, the EPS 230/238.
