Default If not hot cam, then what?

I want to order a cam kit and headers this weekend, but honestly dont know what to go with. All I know Is I want the most power I can get from a stock LT1 auto 3:43, I want to be very streetable "no cutting off or any of the other problems that come with very large cams, And I dont want to have "ANY" clearance issues with my headers or Off road Y pipe.

I need to know If I should keep the AIR and EGR? there will be no emmission testing Issues.

Basicaly I want the most power I can get with out the pitfalls of modding my car

Please help!!!!

Try Pacesetter LT's with no emissions. They are inexpensive and I haven't heard anything bad about them yet. Wish they were out when I bought headers. As far as cam goes, don't just buy one--do a little homework. If you're running stock heads, they say Comp 224/230 is a good choice. Otherwise, you might wanna call Comp or Crane and ask for a recommendation.

Honestly the LT4 hotcam is a pretty good piece.. has just a little lope to it, acts like a stock cam, and makes decent power, while also keeping incredible torquiness.. I have myself ran 11.74 @ 112 with it in my car in the past, but stepped up because its not nearly big enough for an all out race car.

I've been very disappointed with my Hotcam and will be going bigger very soon
