Need Help Pickin a Cam

Well I just bought a 97 camaro for 2000.00 cause the Opti was out so I put the Delteq on and just got it home and threw a rod. Now Im going to put in a engine. Here is the List so far

Bored 30 over
Stroker Kit
Heads stage 1
LT4 intake from Edelbrock
Headers
And I will take the CAT's off and eventuall put the muffler on it since it is straight piped
But what cam do I get?

It is a 97 with a 6spd

GM847 seems to be popular. I like the Lunati Voodoo and Comp XFI grinds myself.

One question is with going with a stroker why do you only want to run a stage 1 type head set-up. That would probably be choking a lot of power out of the stroked motor

If you have LT1 heads, use an LT1 intake. Ports will match up better.

Your HP goals seem small to warrant a stroker. LE packages can do all that for you on 355 bottom end rebuild.

well for the first question I anm running short on dough so I can either leave them stock or get a L1 head

I would like to keep it with a LT1 intake but cant find them anywhere and no one in this town is good enough to do it correctly

Where can I find a LE package

As you can tell I dont know much about these LT1's so I dont know what it takes to get it to the 400+ RWHP goal
