Default Cam help

I'm looking for a cam to put into my LS1. I have no clue what to get. I have 2000 Z-28 M6. Its a DD. The mods that I have are Tick Performance level one trans gears, long tube Pacesetter headers, 3" y-pipe, Texas Speed Rumbler catback, Moser axels, Motive 4.10 gears and slp lid. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

226/230 .603/.585 113+2

This would make for a great DD camshaft with some rumble to it at idle. This cam has 2 degrees of overlap @.050 so it will drive great which is very important IMO for a DD.

RPM range on this cam would be 2000-6500rpm.

If you have any questions you'd like to ask me about this camshaft or packages that I offer, feel free to email me, call me or PM me here on Tech.

Hope this helps.
