Default Cam thoughts

All,
99 Trans Am, 6 spd, WS6. Question on a Cam choice. Good or okay choice of a 218/224 528,535 114 lobe? Car already has installed headers, high flow cats, and magnaflow catback?
Thanks

Its a good choice if you drive the car on the street 90% of the time. Idles like stock with a little bit of lope detected. Has good torque from 1200-2000 rpm for lugging and pulls hard from 2500-5800 rpm. I shift mine at 6200 rpm.
Mine is on a 112 LSA though.
