Cam Question

I have a 1994 Z28, A-4, bolt ons, 150 shot, and 3.73's currently. I am looking to buy a cam next I believe..... What's best cam set up out there for horsepower gains for the lt1 and my set up?
Thanks

something in the 215-220 on the intake 228-232 on the exhaust on a 113-114 lsa you'll want a 25-3000 converter with an anit baloon plate for the juice

Theres my oppion

Hummm, converter, mine is too tight even for my cam and it drives me nutz coming to a stop or at a light. a stock one would suck.

there are guys going deep 11's on a stock cam, with a good converter, suspension, slicks and bottle

so i would go that route, just think ahead to the cam you would like to get and size your converter for that.

Dude with the 500 the Hotcam kit is perfect. Comes with the cam (219./228), 1.6 rockers (crane golds) and springs.

I'm really looking into it right now too. I really cant afford a vig, maybe a used one. But Yank, Cohen, TCI are good places to start at least those are my picks.

do be advaised that the kit dose'nt come with a timing chain or gaskets, 150 bucks extra give or take, depending on which route you go on the timeing chain
