Default Another what cam should I get?

6.0 lq4 with dish pistons. stock 243 heads and a elderbrock intake with a 750 carb. Transmission is a 4l80 with a at least 3500 stall. Its in a 69 camaro. Its going to be a daily driver with trips to the track every once in a while. Ideas?

I talked to Bobby at Cam motion and he recommended the 03-01-0075. 227 intake duration and 237 exhaust. 595 intake lift and 586 exhaust on a 111 lobe separation. The summit 8702 cam is a Stage 3 LS Single Plane Cam, 236/246 110 +0 .612/.612 Lift. So it is a nastier grind for sure. I am planing on milling the heads at least 20 thousands. How would the ptv clearance be on the summit cam?

Not sure about the weight. Probably a 4.11 gear with a manual 4l80. No power anything and no a/c. Just a noisy nasty hot rod.
