There's a search button at the upper right hand side of the page... You will get more than enough info that way... Or see JRP's cam guide in his sig..

Thunder Racing T-Rex cam! . . . Ha ha just kidding, you need their TR224 cam. Nice street cam and it will get you the power you're after.

I was kinda like you 3 months ago. After everyone's advice, I decided to go with MTI's C2 cam. 224/224/.581/.581/112 lsa. This is like the most radical average cam you can get but let me tell you I love it!!!! The only other thing I changed was the pushrods, springs, and retainers. I put down 350 untuned with only a SLP catback. Added a lid and got it tuned and got 373. Headers should put me close to 400 and the cam is very streetable but you can definately hear it. If you don't have a tuner close to you and you want an awesome tune, get on from RWTD.com. James is the tuner and will send it in an email. I did this and the tune was perfect the very first time. All you have to do is tell him all yours mods and he'll nail it everytime. And did I mention that it's only $125 for unlimited tuning. So if you do sometime else later on it's free. Good luck!!
