Default Spec me a blower cam

For my C5Z. I would also like this can to have no more than -4* overlap as I live in CA and want this thing to pass emissions as I'm tired of taking cams out of this car lol I'm wanting a nice broad power band that will carry to the 6,800 rev limiter. I'm thinking EPS/LXL or LXL/LXL, something quieter as this is a driver and the cam will be in the car long term whether the blower is on the car or not.

-317's w/ patriot duals
-LS9 HG's
-1 3/4" LT's, off road X, Ti cat back
-A&A V2 Si (not looking to go over 12lbs)
-91 pump gas w/ Meth


Lets hear em!

I kept the IVC the same as your 230/230 111lsa+2 cam
Not sure what exhaust you'll be running whether it's LT headers, shorty headers, or gm manifolds, so that's why two choices.
I'd go with the 226 exh. for LT headers, and the 230 exh. for gm manifolds or shorty headers.
218(lxl)/226(lxl) 115lsa +0, -8*OL, IVC 44 .

218(lxl)/230(lxl) 115lsa +0, -6*OL, IVC 44 .
