Default Vote for best mild cam

2000 Camaro z28 ls1 A4
I am going to put a cam in my car, and after much research over the past two weeks, I have narrowed it down to the following three options:


216/220. .560 .560 114lsa. $290

216/224 .551 .551 115lsa. $440

218/221 .526 .534 116lsa $400

Who has done these cams, or something similar, and has some advise for me?

Goals- I want a street able car, with very little shake to the idle. I am kind of leaning towards the 216/224. I'm not planning on doing a stall at this time. Will add LT headers along with this.

Who's got some advise for me?
By the way, I will not go higher. I've done my research and decided that the shake and choppy idle of the 224r cams is too much for what I'm looking for.
Thanks!

If you can't feel the cam, hear it or even take advantage of the power; then why do it?

The 216/224 will probably need a little higher stall to take advantage of the power.
Without the higher stall you won't really feel or have a noticeable gain in performance.
The dyno will show your gain, but you won't really see it on the street.

All the cams should give you a decent bump in low and midrange power.

I recommend - get a higher stall at the same time as your cam.
