What mild cam for a street/sometimes strip car.

What mild cam for a street/sometimes strip car.
I have a 1996 camaro z with cai, intake elbow, pacesetter long tubes, highflow cat, cutout, and nitto 555 tires.
I am wanting a really high 12 or a really low 13 car. I am going to be getting a matching stall with my cam. I can get a hotcam kit for $400, But I don't want a hotcam.
So I'm leaning toward a cc503, but need help deciding. Somebody reccommended me this: http://www.jegs.com/i/Comp%20Cams/249/07-466-8/10002/-1?CT=999
So, if you have a cammed lt1 and are liking the power, let me know! I like alot of low and midrange power. I know there are other choices and are looking for advice. I don't want to do an le setup because I don't have enough money to upgrade my rear and tranny. It's a 4l60e btw.
Thanks!

Goals are easy to hit for a stalled/cammed car.
You could probably hit those goals stall only.
With that budget and low goals, you could grab a hot cam kit from like Summit or something ($600ish, but doesn't quite come with everything)
Also, like it was said - you will need tuning.
Go with a popular setup and you can get a cheaper mailorder tune (under $200) compared to dyno tuning with a custom setup.

A cam is overkill for your goals. Bolt ons and traction in decent air is all you need.
The hot cam is probably the only way in your budget to cam it.
Luckily for you, the hot cam will help you surpass your goal performance wise.
In other words, get the hot cam.

Summit's LT4 Hot Cam Kit is like $650 and comes with cam, springs, rockers, etc.
You should still get things like pushrods, timing chain, lifters, tune, gaskets, etc.
So its a bit cheaper, but not sure about quality of the parts.
By the way, specs on the cam are 218/228 .525/.525 112 lsa.
Not gonna post the link, but you can find it on summit pretty easily, or just PM me for link.
