i'm looking for cam reccomendations for the ls1 in my 2002 camaro z28. goal is 400whp or 500 crank hp whichever is easier. I daily drive the car right now so i'm looking for something with decent street manners. I don't plan on revving it past 7k rpms as I plan on keeping the stock bottom end. it will be revved near 7k often though on spirited weekend drives. other mods i plan on doing are 1 7/8" long tubes, bigger injectors, trailblazer SS intake, and a manual swap. heads I haven't chosen yet. want to keep the 3.73 gears any help is appreciated!

Lots of choices. Take a look at my cookbook thread to get an idea of what you want.

You’re asking for 2 completely different cams. A 5.7 500hp cam is not a street or daily cam by just about everyone’s definition.

it's only a temporary daily right now. will be more of a weekend warrior when I fix my original daily

400rwhp translates more to 460flywheel hp which most LS1 engines with cam/headers/LS6 or Trailblazer intake can make. Ported heads will add 30-40rwhp combined with some more compression. Once you drop another $1K+ on a FAST/MSD intake will you gain another 10-20rwhp. More cubic inches makes it a lot easier (6.0 shortblock) to make n/a power. To squeeze out the last few drops of HP staying n/a gets expensive!

my LS1 only has 120k miles and its a rust free car that's why i'm sticking with it. definitely agree that more cubes makes more NA horsepower easier
