Default Looking For Reliable Sleeper H/C Set-up

I'm looking for any suggestions for a reliable sleeper head/cam set-up. It's for my 99 Vette that I daily drive in the summer. It's mainly a street car that I take to the track once in awhile. I would like something that runs like stock, with very good power gains, reliable and emission friendly.

I'll be happy to help you.

- Transmission?
- Do you have Headers?
- Budget?
- Power goals?

Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.

I predict 425/405 SAE with this combo. I'd bump up one cam size, to 224/228 @ 114 though.
