Need help Picking a Cam.

im looking at getting a custom cam and was wunder what some of you would suggest.

Car is going to be a daily driver
right now its the car in the sig but im going to sell it to get a m6 with t-tops and prob lower miles.

I want the most i can get out of a cam and have it still be a daily driver. I know there are HotCams and stuff but i was looking for something more aggrasive and have more of a lope.


Also can someone please post some info that i need to help me decide what cam i need and want. What everything means and stuff like that. Cause i most say the right head and cam combo make or break a car with our LT1's

Thanks,

Talk to the cam grinder and see what he recommends for your heads. That's the best way to do it.

I will probably have to talk to the cam grinder to check but can anyone sent me to a site or something so i know what all that stuff means and what makes this better then that.

I just want to know how my cam works and how it works before doing it instead of just doing it because it going ot make it faster and not really know **** about it.

I have a little idea about how it works but still not sure.
