Default cam

WEll I did well in school and getting a cam as a reward to myself. I have an 02 zo6 with kooks 1 7/8 headers, granitelli intake,short shifter, and off-road x-pipe. What kind of a cam should i put in. Cartek wants 2400 for cam instal with the scam package. They said i be at 430 rwhp, with the 3X cam package. What are some other cam packages that I should look at. I dynoed at 381 untuned. Its running real rich and got alot of Hp to gain from a tune but want a cam too. Thinking of going TTP,anyone get a cam put in ther and how much was it. Where else should i look. Cartek i hear is one of the best but for 2400, I feel i can get the same HP for less money. Anyonehave experience with rapid motor sports. Please tell me the cams yu have, how much it was to do, and where you went to get it done. Located in Allentown, Pa.

Keep in mind the tune is of paramount importance and Julio at Cartek is one of the best around. I'm running the 3x cam and it screams up top. Their 2x cam is great also. Mine is for sale if you want to save some dough. My car will mph at 127 cam only in the 1/4 mile. You want the complete package not just the dyno number. To me the extra few bucks are worth it.
