depends what kind of results you want to get and how much you want to spend. If you're sticking with the stock head, then check this out

Really depends on what your main goal is with the car. Will you need to pass emissions? Are you going to run it with the stock heads? Is it going to be a daily driver or mainly a drag car? And do you have the supporting mods to go along with a cam??? I don't see anything listed in your **sig** Post some more info up and we can help steer you towards what camshaft will work best for your application.

See if anything sparks an interest on this site http://www.elliottsportworks.com/lt1.html
I would put some 1.6 RR's on. Worth an extra 10@the rear

That's pretty much the exact cam I went with. It would be a great Daily driver and not be too bad for 1/4. If you are looking to get a little more sound out of that camshaft I would rec changing the lsa to a 110 or 109. The 112lsa will sound good but noting too radical. I went with a 109 and it sounds pretty sick. Got a nice lope to it.

Same here, I have a CC503, very similar specs. I have a y-pipe and the SLP 2OTL exhaust, you can hear the lope, it's nothing radical though.
