Default What Cam to use Rolling Rocker arms and other parts to replace

I have a 1999 Corvette Basic stock from the factory. I think it is a C4. I was told that when I have the heads rebuilt that would be a good time to change the Cam? pep it up.
Can anyone tell me the stats on the CAM now? What brand?
Can anyone of you experts tell me what the stats are on a new one?
My Dad said something about using a RV Cam. I am guessing it has faster out of the hole shots. Does it drive slower on top end? How much does it cost? Is there anything else I need to know?

What other things should can I change?
Water Pump?
Does it have a steel timing Chain?
Radiator Flush?
Hoses?
I don't think we can replace the forward main seal unless we lower the Oil Pan.
Serpentine belt?

Marine Engines have a couple of things different. I am not sure if I should use them or not.
Brass Freeze plugs ( Block casting holes ).
Thicker Head Gaskets.


I am also opening a new thread about " Rolling Rocker Arms " here is the link.

This posting is under the wrong Forum. It should be in C4 but I can't delete this one.

1999 would be 5th gen, C5. So if you posted in C4 you have another apology to make there!
