    True power is found in the heads. With the right heads, you'd be surprised with just how well the stock camshaft can perform.....

    That is a very very good cam right there. That would be my pick of the cams you listed.

    I'm pretty sure i've posted this before, but if you're not that educated on cams and what to go with, here's a link that should help http://www.ls1howto.com click on the f-body link that says cam and valvespring swap and scroll down about a page. You'll find a chart that pretty much explains all the dynamics of cams, their numbers, and what you can expect from what cam you choose if you're new and poking around in the dark. This chart helped me a lot in understanding cams. Hope it helps you guys!

    Keep in mind that nitrous will benefit just about every cam out there, but the idea is to tailor the grind to suit your own individual, daily driving needs. The TR 230/224 would work well with your stock heads. I heavily favor the reverse split, with a positive degree of overlap (230/224 has +5)....

    Need more info. A daily driver that you drive 3 days a week? The MS4 and the Lingenfelter cam are complete opposite ends of the spectrum.

    a4 and daily driver....another vote for the fms cam. The tr230 is a good cam too but for a daily driver I would go with the fms cam.
