Default Cam help please??

Hello I have a 2002 Z28 Camaro with the ls1. Mods 3.73 gears, pacesetter longtube headers into y pipe with muffler delete, Zex 100 shot of nitrous, tranny cooler and a 3600 stall (it's an automatic).

I don't know much about cams but I do know they make great power and sound wicked. This is my daily driver so I don't want my idle too choppy. But I want a decent size cam. With all of my mods what would you all suggest I get size wise? And I know other people replace things too when they do a cam swap. What else should I get replaced while I'm swiping the cam to save my money? And what company? I was planning on going Texas speed or comp cams. Any help would be appreciated!

Call Martin Smallwood for a cam. End of story.

Give us a call, we can get you fixed up with exactly what you need. After 13 years in the business, 13 years testing and selling nearly every combo under the sun nobody does it better. We engineer and design our own cam lobes and WE DYNO TEST THEM, not hope for the best. We have it down!

Not to mention, we grind the best cams in the industry...not because we say so, but because the testing says so.

No Squealing, and peeling lobes to worry about. The machine we use to cut them is state of the art and gives us the ability to make some awesome stuff. When compared to some of the manufacturers, our cams just flat out make more power because we are able to cut a re-entry. The quality of our cams are second to none, it is easy to see when you hold our cam compared to the competitors.
