Default another what cam should i run thread

01 ZO6 looking to make a cam upgrade...would like to hear your recommendations and results...more concerned with drivablity, torque, feel, and sound than big peak numbers on the dyno...looking for good low and mid range torque and hp...somewhat choppy idle is ok, just dont want to rattle the windows...my 3yr old rides with me everywhere and was scared of my race car (open headers are deafening)...wanting to just use my stock heads with good springs, LG street headers, veraram, stock ti catback...any feed back or experiences would be great thanks!

That's a nice cam.
What your cam selection, pick the one that's right for you, and them go one size bigger !
