Default best head /cam combo for ls1 street car

Looking into putting a head/ cam on my 99 formula 6 speed . Already has headers y pipe and slp air lid . The car gets driven quite a bit so I'm looking for something practical but at the same time sounds mean and makes decent power at a decent price . I'd appreciate the input thanks!!

For cheap an effective I'd look at a Cam Motion and a Titan4 grind:

then maybe a High Compression 241 head from AI:

^Agreed 100%. Exactly what I plan on doing, wont break the bank but will give you respectable power.

I'm a bit bias because I use Tick Performance. I'd call them and talk to Martin Smallwood about your goals for the car. Personally I have their sns torquemax stage 3 and eventually I'm getting Trick Flow as cast 220 to go with it as well as a intake that's better than my ls6 intake. That combo should be good for high 10's to very low 11's on motor. Then I plan on a 200-300 shot of nitrous. Just my .02

The best is go be a mamo 220 head with a cam from him...... but I'm not sure if your "decent" price can deal with that.

I'm waiting on heads and cam with sundry other pieces from Tony Mamo for my Stock LS1. I'll have over $5000.00 in it before I'm done. It will still be streetable but it should make good power when finished! Spent more than I should have but the car is paid for and it's on my bucket list!!!
