Given his current setup and what he wants out of it, what sort of cam would you advise in this case? I'm just curious.
I'm kinda thinking High Lift Hot Cam, or similar, but I could very well be off base here too.

The summit stage 2 cam would be one to look at. I'm sure if you had someone cut you a custom grind it would look a little different but wouldn't make the car a different animal necessarily. Summit cams are easy on the wallet too.

Or am I thinking about something else?

For what OP is doing, any cam core is fine.
I have the earlier AFR 205’s on my C5. Milled to 60cc. Stock short block.
Pat G designed me a custom cam through EPS.
598/608 226/230 114+1
Runs very well. I do have FAST intake, 90mm TB etc.
Made 443 on our Dyno Dynamics dyno.
Corrected to Dyno Jet numbers, which Dyno Dynamics calls “Brand X”, it’s right at 500.
Car snuck into the tens once.....

Fast 102/102, 4" coupler, ftp 104mm lid, 243 heads milled to 62cc, johnson 2110 lifters, chromoly pushrods, stock rockers, pac 1207x springs, msd wires, slp 25% underdrive, 1 7/8 long tubes, 3" off road y pipe, borla cat back, 6 speed, 3540lbs, suspension, mwc fab9, 4.30s. 11.36 @ 121 with a 1.64 60', leaving easy. Tuned by me. it drives awesome, some surging under 1800rpm at light load, never really notice it unless im in stop and go traffic on the highway. i havent been able to finish tuning it, i think taking some timing out 1800 at light throttle would minimize it. i daily drove it for 5000 miles just want to go bigger now.
