We have our packages still on special for a few more days... You might look into the Torquer 2 232/234 .595/.598 on a 113 or 114. Both should idle & drive really nice while gaining 50rwhp

I second this cam. I have the Comp Cam version on a 112LSA. Rougher idle, picked up right around 50 rwhp with the stock ls1 intake still on.

A set of PRC or Patriot duals should give you a couple years worth of peace of mind. You should check them at periodic intervals. Comp 921's may buy you even more peace of mind. Either way, it's hard to say exactly how long.
