Default Cam Advise

I have the 335/HP 02'SS with the LM, 3.42, Whisper lid, and descreened MAF. Called up LS1 Speed and they recomended the following:
Up to 400RWHP is obtainable with this fast ramp cam with bolt ons, STOCK heads, and dynotuning in an M6 car Lift: .581/.581 Dur@.050: 224/224 LSA: 112 114
What do you guys think about this cam or what cam do you recomend? I'm a daily driver, but looking for some lopeing action with power!!!

THNAKS!!!

So would that cam still put down 400 rwhp with bolt ons and stock heads if it was 224/224 .581 114? Also, how would the idle be, I like the choppy idles, would it be lumpy?

Unless you're going to spray more then 150 shot don't worry about the 112 vs 114lsa. I don't really think you need to take nitrous into consideration for cam choice until you spray more then a 150.

The cam will probably work with out headers but really will come alive once you add headers.

A guy I know is running a cam with those specs that came out of Speed Inc. It cams pretty hard, sounds good, I was thinking of going with the same cam. He is on a 112 lsa.
