Mild Cam for a Full bolt on LS2

dont kill me, i did use the search button but nada guys. Im about a week away from dropping in a stock ls2 in my 30th. I have every single bolt on in my garage ready to be installed. At first i wanted a bolt on car but now I want thecar to have a mild chop to it. Not looking to be a dyno queen, I had even thought about getting a Hot cam since there not expensive.....What do you guys recommend????

would like the power band to be between 2500 up to low 6k.......

What will be on the engine,LT headers or stock exhaust manifolds?
Single pattern cam (224/224, 226/226, 228/228, .....) or regular split pattern cam with a mild split(226/230,228/230, 228/232,230/232,....) with the LT headers.
Regular split pattern cam with a wider split,(224/230, 224/232, 226/232, 228/234, ..) with stock manifolds.

I think a 228/228 112lsa, or a 228/232 112lsa should make you happy.

I have a 220/224 cam that has a power range of 2k to 6k with very good street manners. It put down 403whp/378wtq.

I have the 228/228, 112lsa, I am very pleased with the cam, provides good power and still doesn't sacrifice driveability, I would suggest at least a 3600 stall converter with a 228 or larger cam if you want to get the most out of it.

I saw someplace that the LS6 intake/throttle body is the same as the GTO/Corvette one. They don't have any specs on duration on their webpage? I'm after a little lope that you can hear but i don't want to get crazy and not be able to drive it all the time. I'm thinking also a full length tube header and cold air intake kit and 3.73 gears. Going to have a 4L60 auto trans too. I don't want to have a huge converter. Like to be more streetable than my last motor/trans. This is going in a 71Z28 and is going to be replacing a 406 small block and 350turbo trans. Like to have it be more of a driver but not too lame! Thanks

Forgot to ask what springs should i go with too? Are the beehives better for street driving?

Our VB cam would fit the bill of your desired power range and makes great average power in a LS2. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Chris, 817-750-2000
