Default CAMSHAFT RECOMENDATIONS!!!

I want to install a new cam in my daily driven LT4, but am having trouble deciding which to go with. I am looking for this= a well made cam that will provide the greatest horsepower gains possible with VERY little or no changes in idle. I plan on doing head work at the same time, if this is relevant to your answer. Thanks alot!

Hmm. You can keep a pretty good idle, but keeping it the same as stock is very difficult while making more power. GM does a LOT of research to design a cam with a good idle and max HP with good emissions. You can beat it, but by how much? If you are willing to accept a little lump in the idle(no stalling, no this that BS), we can help you pick a cam.
Let me know if I can help,
