Default Cam Help

So guys I have this 1999 Z28 camaro, sold the Z06 to purchase this monster....and as of right now it has this cam in it Comp Cams 224/228 .567/.588 114lsa. I think and so do a few others that the cam is to small for the setup that I have.....I am running a P1SC around 10-12psi and a 75shot of nos.......I have a jackson motorsport forged 347 block heads, ls6 intake.....blah blah blah.....so basically I am curious as to what cam would really make this thing pick up? or should I stick with it and just get the car tuned....the car has not been tuned since I put the new 8 rib setup and the bottle on......so I want to know is it worth it to do a cam? Thanks

p.s its an auto/ 3800 stall.....

I doubt you will get much response here. Try posting on: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/index.php?

Choosing a cam depends on what you're going to use the car for. I assume it's for drags and street. You might try a Trex or MS4. Great power up high, but you'll sacrifice some low end and mid-range.

Good Luck

I wouldn't bother changing the cam. I'd ditch the P-1SC for a D-1SC or an F1.
