Hmm... define lightly modded. Give us all the details of your setup and your specific goals.

Something like a 216/220 on a 114 LSA would give a good bump in power without making it too obvious. Or something like Thunder Racing's "Old Man" cam would work well. But more detail will yield a more accurate suggestions: ex. exhaust? headers? Intake?

Or even better call up a local vendor and discuss your goals with them.

This camshaft, http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=679
is what we initially first used in this twin turbo Z06 we built.

Here is a video of it in action.

We have also used this camshaft with many ATI ProCharger equipped cars that we have built, and it has performed very well for us. Bob

Yep.

Also the TSP 220/220 which you can get on 116 LSA.

Comp 212/218 114 lsa would be good too.
