Default Z cam question

Hello guys. I'am normally over on the C6Z section but yesterday I bought a 02Z with a few miles on it and I intend to mod this car instead of my C6Z. Main question is what are you guys recommending as far as a serious street cam? Will use the car some at test and tune days and it will not be a daily driver. Want a nasty idle. I also understand that the LS6 heads respond pretty good to some porting work. Thanks for your input!

I am in the process of picking a cam for my 03Z. I will let you know the specs of my cam when I get them. Should be latter today. I want to be at 420rwhp with just the cam.

Yup, longtubes for sure and maybe some massaging on the LS6 heads.

I really liked my "S" cam in my old LS6 that was ground to the HPE specs by comp. It was a .238/.242 .605/.609 112LSA. Made great power and pulled like hell to 7K. Sounded nasty at idle as well. With a mild set of heads, it made 450RWHP, so without, I would guess around 430 or so.
