c5 cam question

Hi, I know this question has been done to death but i was hoping to get a more direct answer or narrow downed more... I wanted to know what is the largest cam i can run on a stock c5 with out making huge changes.. example: heads, tranny, ect... what i do have is: ls6 intake, cai, headers 1 3/4, x-pipe, corsa extreme, 3.42 rear end, hypertech/hyperpack tuner. automatic trans tuned to stage 4 shifts. I am planning on changing the springs, rods, timing chain, harmonic bal. so based on this info what is the largest i can go with this set up w/o any more mods or big ticket parts!! or huge maintenance!! thank you so much a head of time!!

Contact Kurt Urban Performance.. I think that he is down in South or North Carolina. He is "The Man", when it comes to the LS platform.

Are you going to put a converter in it?

I had one of these w/112LSA and I'd say any more and you are headed the wrong direction. You're gonna need a converter.

This advice worth every penny you paid for it. Mine was a DD.

The largest cam wont necessarily make the most power, thats a myth. Get the right cam in there youll be happy, its all got to work together.
Big cams and stock converters are a horrible combo it will suck driving it trust me.
