Popular small cams
What were some popular choices in small cams back between 99-03 for LS1 engines?
Reason being, my car I found out has been tuned by the first owner and appears to have had a slightly bigger cam in it. Does the LS6 cam have any kind of slight rough idle what-so-ever? If not, then what are other small cams back in the day that gave just a slight rough idle. It's especially noticeable with the cutout open...not so much with it closed.

I will try to get a good vid up. I'm gonna change plugs and wires to see if that may clear the rough idle but looking over the bin file definitely points to a cam swap, and most likely the LS6 cam.

Recommend having a dyno session and then place the file in the dyno section here. Curves and peaks will how show aggressive the cam is from stock.

I know you need a tune with any cam swap, but would it even be noticable with an LS6 cam in it? I've read of guys throwing in an LS6 cam and get MAYBE 10hp out? Idk if they were trolling or what, but just my .02 cents.
