Looking to end the summer with a CAM.

I have a 2002 WS6. I have

Throttle body, Lid, Headers, Catless Y-pipe, O2 simms, Exhaust. Stock LS6 intake of course

Underdrive Crank Pulley,

3500 Stall Torque Converter, Cooler. Stock 3.23 gears.

I live in Chicago and I am thinking of dropping a Cam in to end the Summer. Then putting in Heads and a 100 shot next summer.

What Cam do you recommend that will give me some good power with no emission problems and drivability issues?

What will make a good combo with my set up?

Should I get the springs now or should I wait till I get heads next summer?

Thanks your input is appreciated.

my setup now is not emissions friendly. Springs are soooo muuch easier when heads are off the motor! I had a 222/226 cam on a 114 that was smog friendly...but i didnt think that they would sniff your car if it is a 2002? From what I have seen they just plug in and that gets all the info possible, but if it sounds suspicious they might double check your exhaust.

Yeap, TR 224/114lsa with p-rods and 918 springs (lopey)
or Comp 224/224 .581/.581 114
or Stealth II 224/220 .581/.581 116
or CheaTR cam (Stealthy)

Or any other cam with a negative degree of overlap and less than 225 intake duration

i believe you can go as high as a 228 split duration and still keep the sniffers on you if you get a good tune
