Well Thunder Racing/TSP/Futral all have really nice cams, just look on their website and lookf or the one that suits you. You can also have a custom ground cam done to your specs...what springs are you running BTW? If its the comp 918's they can be shimmed to work with higher lift cams but I wouldnt make a cam selection based on my springs as you can sell the ones you have now off and get some nice dual springs, like say the patriot gold duals, for $250.

TSP Torquer v2, specs: 232/234 .595"/.598" 112LSA
Makes great power while keeping driveability, and with the 112 LSA it has a pretty nasty lope.

F14 is the best choice. It is right at the limits of what you want and when tuned properly will make the same if not better numbers than bigger cams.

Yeah, its wierd to think that those used to be some huge lift numbers. Now they're just kind of small for a bigger cam.

Haha exactly, they still make awesome power due to their intake/exhaust durations, but the 232/238 cam I had in my camaro was .640/.610 lift, which is funny to see since its a much smaller cam when compared to the trex and g5x3
