you should list what you want to put it in to help...if its an auto or manual...Z06 or regular C5 etc...
For instance...a 112 LSA on an auto may make it tough to tune for idle...and an auto can require a higher stall converter to achived the RPM power band a cam would operate in..

I have that cam with a 113lsa in my Z. With the kooks, no cats, and stingers, it sounds great. Nice lope, and the car sits there and shakes like a muscle car. Along with ported and polished heads, I am putting down 448 rwhp and 410 rwtq, and top end that seems endless!!!!

I just recently installed a F14 cam which specs out at 232 I 234 E with about .600 lift of each side. It lopes the worst when you cold start the car, but a good tune helps me drive the car daily. Not to mention I made 423 rwhp with the cam and bolt ons.

I have that cam in my '02z and it is awesome. It has a pretty dood lope to it (because of the 112lsa). The lower the lsa the choppier the idle. I also put on a set of G.M. Performance cnc heads, LG L/T's cold air kit and 3" duals with SVO 30# injectors. The car made 450 RWHP and most people can't believe that kind of sound comes from a new vette. It does not stop pulling until the 7,000 rev limiter.
