Default Looking at different cams

I have a 03 Z and I plan on doing bolt ons and a cam soon. what cam would get me around 430 rwhp and still have good driveability?? Also my car has 41k miles so is valve springs and push rods all I really need to do when doing the cam swap?

Personally I would go with a cam motion titan 4- 227/232 cam.
Dual springs with titanium retainers
Dual taper 3/8 pushdowns + the rest of the bolt ons.

My 99 M6 has a 231/237 Speed Inc out of Schaumburg il cam. Very street ble and made 400rwhp so your Z should make 425+.

Check out Brian Tooley Racing as well. He has many years working with LS engines and heads and valve train. He can set you up with a complete package. Cam/springs/pushrods.

Welcome to CF. Have fun with your Z!
