Default ? about trapping 120 n/a with a4 ss

Ok so i just recently purchased a 1998 camaro ss a4 and have kooks 1 7/8 lt's, ory, slp dual dual, fast 90, nw 90, and a few other bolt ons along with a yank ss 3600 converter. Im wondering what is the mildest cam i could run and which heads to go with to trap around 120 na in my full weight ss. I will probably run milled afr's for 11:1 comp but am stuck on how much cam i need or if this is even possible for a car that will be on the street alot and not be a pos to drive?

so something like the f13 230"/232" .595"/.585" 112LSA, f14 232"/234" .598"/.598" 112LSA, or the tr trak cam 231/234 .640/.590 112 LSA would get me there with milled afr's? Also what does everyone suggest in this range for an a4 street car and what have people used to reach these kind of traps in a4 cars?

Any of those cams will work, where it's at is your heads...get the best you can afford. I've heard you'll need at least 410-420rwhp unlocked in a full weight car to trap 120. If you can get it to trap 121-122 then you may see a 10.99999 with a little weight loss and a sub 1.6 60' I'm in the same boat you're in right now, my car's gone 11.99 with 348 rwhp and a 4400 tci convertor. I'm tryin to hit 400 rwhp and see if I can hit 120 mph traps
