You should call texas speed and they can tell you what you would want plus allt eh bits that you need to do the swap.

Lots of other information needed for anyone to even give opinions for camshaft recommendations.

What is your ultimate goal for the car performance wise?
What other mods do you have?
Will you be getting heads and intake also?
Is this a daily driver?

As others have stated alot more info is needed. What do you want a DD or a Track Queen. There is a very thin line on that also. It does not take much to make the car not worth DD. Remeber this there is always always someone faster than you. Just ask yourself how fast do you want to go.

i have bbk long tube headers, ls6 intake manifold, slp cold air intake with slp throttle body and mass air flow sensor. this is not going to be a DD car but rather a strip car and fun cruiser. the car has 60,000 miles on it and is mostly original minus the bolt ons. i have owned the car since i drove it off the lot brand new.

okay i would defiantly call a shop and explain to them what your looking for out of your car, i called Texas Speed and after several, several calls and lots of feedback from members on here i decided to go with the TSP Torquer 2...great cam imo for a semi-DD and a track/cruiser. Makes great power and sounds mean and with the right tune you'll be able to DD the shit out of the car.

dont forget the supporting mods that are a must do when doing a cam swap such as Springs, Rods, Oil Pump, Timing Chain, and all the gaskets

texas speed has a good cam package that gives you nearly all the parts needed but if you call them they can hook you up
