Default so many cams!!! which one for me??

Ok i just picked up a 05 ls2 vette. The car has lt Headers,cai,ported tb and intake. Im thinking about getting a cam installed in the car because i just love the performance and the sound a cam gives.Im looking at the tsp cams right now . Which cam is the best for me...The ms3.....233/239.... or the torquer v2 cam????? This is what im looking for a cam to do....
-to have decent driveabilty and gas mileage{its a weekend car}
-its gotta have a pretty mean chop/lope to it
- i wanna make good power across the whole rpm range{not just a high rpm cam}
- max power potential {im thinking close to 450rwhp on a dyno jet}
thanks and God bless

You want the g5x3 cam from LG Motorsports. I have ran all the LG Cams. x1,x2,x3 and x4. the x3 was the best. it is in the range of what you are looking for. It drives nice,Idle sounds like a old big block car and nasty power. The x2 cam was just as nice and I think only like a 5hp difference between the too. Call louis at LG and talk with him before you decide on any cam. goodluck to ya. There is a guy on her called allenc5 and he ran that cam too in a vett. you can ask him his thoughts.

I like the sound of the streetsweeper. If you go to the gto site or google streetsweeper you can listen to some idle clips. They produce alot of power also. I'm pretty sure New Era performance sells them.

Streetsweeper is an Ed Curtis grind from Flowtech Inductions. They also have the Streetsweeper High Torque which isn't as much duration and makes a nice fat torque curve. I'm a fan of big cams though, lol. Look in my sig.
