Default Cam/Valvetrain Kits

96' T/A WS6... My current set-up; long tube headers, full 3" exhaust, cut-outs, 3.73 gears, Stage 2 shift kit w/ stall, drag radials (315's) and welded frame ties.

I would think that the next logical step would be a cam and new valvetrain, as well as a tune. Any recommendations on an aggressive, yet pretty streetable cam that includes most- if not all- of the valvetrain items I'd need?

There's lots of them. Can't really make a recommendation not knowing more. What are your plans?

Can you offer a link to one please?

To the OP, tell us more about the stall you have.

There are a few proven ones, the AI has been mentioned, why mess with success?

It depends on his budget and goals.

Llyod can get him a complete kit with everything he needs for a reasonable price.

Hell, summit has cheap Edlebrock and Trickflow top end kits for LT1s with everything you need to install, even including gaskets...they just don't make anywhere near the power of a proper custom setup. If you just want a bump in performance over stock for a mild daily driver for your Wife, something like that might fit the bill though.

There is no one size fits all cam/valvetrain kit, but most companies worth the time will work with you to get you what you need.

It sounds to me like you're asking for a one-stop source to take all the guesswork out of picking the parts. If that's correct, then the first reply to your post is the best answer. From what I observed over several years, no other place to date has matched AI's attention to detail and repeated success in their setups.
Of course if you already have that expertise, then you can also have success by piecing together your own setup with other parts.
