Default CamHelp

I'm new to the LS1 world, need to how much lift or how big of a cam can I put in my stock 01 LS1 motor (SAFELY). I don't want to fly cut the pistons or any thing like that. Don't want to worry about ptvc. Just want to put in and go. I'm going to buy one from TSP. Can you guys recommend one?

If you are going to take the time to replace the cam you should at least do springs pushrods and timing chain while you are in there. Not much $$ in parts and you will have everything apart already.

are you planning to tune it? If not you need to stay pretty small.

Headers? A4 or M6? other mods? driving style?
