Default Best bang for the buck cam?

Have 2k SS with these mods:
lid,maf,cold ram air,long tubes,orp,loudmouth exhaust, and a 125 dry n20 shot. So it should breath well on both intake and exhaust sides.
Which is the best cam for this? I do not want to do any pcm tuning for another $500.00. ANyone with a similar set up? What kind of power gains should be expected?

Thanks all for any help, you all here were great in clutch advise.
Dan

Are you an auto or 6-speed?

From reading many posts, I have seen that the Hot Cam is the best bang for your buck. On a plus note I have also read that it likes nitrous. Paceparts.com has/had the Hot Cam kit for 420 with everything you need for the cam swap.

It's really what you want out of a cam. I'm certainly happy with my hotcam. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
