Default The best cam for stock heads

I want to get a cam and keep the stock heads for now because of money reasons. I hear of people putting down 400 plus to the wheels, and i have the LTs and true duals. Any help is greatly appreciated

I was looking into MTI, and they are not cheap. But, I really like the TSP 225/225

I really like my cam.. it drives real nice. Should have no problem making 430rwhp+ on a stock rear with belts and all the other boltons, prolly 440rwhp without belts.

Peace,
Josh

you could try putting a stock cam out of a ZO6, and since they run similar heads, you could probably get close to 400rwhp, i used that set up, and came out with 393hp, and i bought the cam for abour 60$

I feel stupid asking this, but who makes the G5X3 cam? I have heard of most and done some head work on LT1s and such.
