Default Cam ???'s (sorry)

My 98 m6 z28 is a daily driver, and im on a really tight budget but i want a cam really bad, and i have the money to do that but not enough for heads and everything else, what do you thikn would be the biggest cam i can get for my car? i know ill need to springs and all that little crap but i really just want lopeing, a little power gain would be cool but its not big deal, this sounds ricerish but i want it to sound mean haha thanks guys

what mods do you have? biggest would be something like the t-rex, ms4, f15. since you just want lope, a 224 on a 112 lsa would be good for you.

check out the TR230/224 on a 111 lsa, its an old cam, but has proven itself time and time again, which is why i decided to go with it after checking out some dyno graphs for my daily driver. Its a torque monster and has a great sounding idle.

Just had my car tuned yesterday, and got 355 rwtq on a VERY stingy mustang dyno through mac mids and STOCK LS1 intake. the tuner said i should easily be around 380wtq on a dynojet, and VERY close to 400 with a LS6 intake.
P.S. the car made 298 lbs or torque at 2900 rpms

As far as what parts your going to need besides the obvious with cam and springs, id look into getting:
1. New hardened pushrods
2. Ported LS6 oil pump
3. New timing chain
4. And i choose to go with titanium retainers and locks just for added assurance.
