Default Cam Suggestion??

OK guys,

My current mods are:
Forged 383
PRC Stge 2.5 lS6 with 230cc Intake
TR 230/236 w/ 591/602 lift
Fast 90MM intake
NW 90MM TB
1.7 roller rockers
EWP
etc....

Now this is my current daily driver, but heres the problem whenever some one hears my mod list they alwsys say that cam is too small for the motor...Is that true??

I guess what im really looking for is the best of both worlds in terms of maximum power & good driveability.

Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated

I'd say it's a bit small for the stroker. I'm putting a G5-X2 in my LS6 which is something like 232/240 .59x/.608 114... exact specs are on LGM's site.

power and drivability are usually a trade off from one another. How much are you willing to put up with? You could definately stick a bigger cam in there if youre willing to.
