Default Cam help needed...

I am seriously considering new AFR heads for my 01 LS1. I want to change the cam also, who can tell me what the factory cam specs are for this engine. What cam grinds are you running with these heads and how happy are you with your choices? Did you lose much driveability?

220/224--114 LSA Comp Cam, with AFR 205s. Only other changes from stock were GHL Bullets , Blackwing and tune. Made 395 rwhp. Very pleased. Car is totally driveable ,and if you didn't know what a stock c5 sounded like at idle, you might think it was stock. Should also pass CA smog.

AFR recommends a 224/228 grind that works very well with 205s. Give AFR a call and they can fill you in about this cam.
