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!!!

Spray would prefer the 114 LSA in that cam.

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.
