Default Ls1 heads and cam

I have a 2000 Pontiac trans am. Ls1 with an slp catback exhaust and 150 shot of roids lol. I want to change my heads cam and Intake but I don't know what to get. It is a street car with once in a while races and it is daily driven. I want something that makes good power and is good with NA and nitrous. Prices, links, and companies would be appreciated. Thanks. (If you know the power gain from a setup i would like to know)

You're going to get 50 different answers from 50 different
people, there are almost limitless amounts of heads/cam combos you can run. What is your budget? Is this an auto or stick car? Do you plan on adding all the supporting mods such as headers, a better intake, gears, etc. to get the most out of the combo?

In my opinion, you can't go wrong with a 22x/23x cam with some ported 243/799's

I can always save more money lol. But not anything outrageously overpriced. It's an automatic and yes I'll be adding headers, intake, and stall.

We have a wide variety of options available. Feel free to send me a message and I can put a recommendation together. Like mentioned above there is a lot of different options available depending on what you plan to do with the car or what your future goals might be.

If the car is a daily driver I would keep the cam size moderate. A good package would be the BTR Stage 1 with TFS 220's touched up by Tooley.
