Default cam advice please!

I'm pulling the lt1 out this weekend, im throwing on some longtubes and already have a k&n fipk cold air intake (yes i know, its way too expensive). I was wondering what cam and springs would work the best with the stock heads. I already have comp cams 1.6 rollor rockers, i just need springs and cam. Any advise is gold right now!!!thanks!

Did you look at the cams on the site though? This one might be of something you may be interested in..228/235 .560/.560 109 LSA. - 1900-6200 It would be a strong running cam and be just fine on the bottom end. He can always custom grind you something as well. That's the route I went..

I'll be getting my cam from Lloyd, i'm staying with the 3.42 gears with full bolt-ons, this is what he spec'd out for me running an M6 @ full weight.

non-emissions: 565/565, 223/230 @ 50 on a 110 LSA

emissions: 565/565, 223/230 @ 50 on a 112 LSA

Im also selling a cam right now, lol
Its a LE1.2 cam
Heres Lloyds quote about the cam:

It was designed for low and mid range power (1700-6100 RPM), has great drivability and an idle similar to Hot Cam or CC 503 cam.
Used for 500miles, 180 shipped!

22x/22x .570/.570 10x LSA
