Default Lt1 camshaft

Hey sup guys, so I have a 95 corvette that I spun a bearing on about 8 months ago. I just got the block back from the machine shop and so I'm starting the build. Now Id love to still be able to daily drive the car comfortably, So I'm trying to decide on the best cam set up. It's either of course the famous lt4 cam kit, or piecing together a cc503. Give me some advice thanks!!! Also car is a 6 speed!!👍

I had the 20080721 lunati voodoo cam below when my car was cam only (6spd also). It should make a bit more power than the hot cam, probably very similar to the cc503, and it's a good DD cam with plenty of torque. It sounds pretty nasty for a smaller cam You would need headers and good springs to match, a retune and probably roller rockers too. Also you should upgrade the clutch at the same time or the stock one will burn up quickly with added HP.

Hydraulic Roller Cam. Strong power increase in mildly modified engines with great throttle response. Works w/ stock converter in 383+ c.i. Likes 2000 RPM converter in 350 or less c.i. applications and 3.23-3.73 gearing. Largest choice for inboard/outboard marine applications. Noticeable idle and likes headers.
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 270/278

Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .515/.530

CC503 is about as good as gets with stock heads outside of custom. Especially for a DD, I had one for a few years with stock heads and drove like stock.
