Camshaft selection for my C5 Hello all. I have a question regarding camshaft selection for my 2000 c5 corvette. Before i start here is the info on the car. Its a 4l60 car. Everything is stock besides a vararam intake and corsa axle back. I am in the process of buying longtubes and 3” x pipe to go back to the axle backs. Also trying to source 243 heads and a ls6 intake manifold at the moment.
On to my cam question. I have searched but much of the info i find appears to be very old or people saying to just put the biggest cam possible in it. I would like opinions on cam selection for a daily driven car. I repeat, lol, the car is daily driven so street manners is extremely important! Also would like to ise the factory stall converter and keep the shift point at 6k. At this time i am considering either an ls9 cam or the sloppy stage 1. Any other info on cam selections would be appretiated. Again. Daily driver. Street manners. Lol.

Largest Cam for a stock stall (3000 stall is Very DD Friendly BTW, and will make as much difference as everything else mentioned) I would run is the Cam Motion Titan 3 224/228 113+4 with a very good tune 11.0-11.4:1 comp depending on fuel with a tight quench (.040 gasket).

what kind of power gains can be expected with the stage 3 vs the ls9? If its similar in drivability to the ls9 but significant in power gain then i dont mind spending the extra almost $300 on it
