Default New cam decision

I have a 98 Z with ported LS6 heads,comp cams 220/234 530./534. lift, long tubes,ORY,BBK manifold, 3000 stall, 1.8 ratio rockers,373's, and just about every goodie in the book. And i would like a little bit bigger cam that is still mildly streetable. Any advice would be great.

Are you wanting a nitrous cam? Just wondering why your current duration has such a large split...

If you are gonna change the cam go back to stock ratio on the rockers and just get the grind that is gonna match what you want on 1.7's.
