Default Good Cam for C5 Z06?

I have a 2002 Z06 with CAI. It isn't a DD, just a weekend and track day car. I'm looking at a potential C/H or Cam/SC mod.

Any recommendatations for a good Cam for the C/H combo?

Would your recommendation change for Cam/SC combo?

I'm looking to get more HP/Torque for acceleration, but not wanting to make the car super jerky.

Thanks.

too many vague questions. it looks like you want more low end torque than anything so the common advice given here is to stick with a smaller cam in the 230 or less duration with a lobe separation around 112 or higher. The TSP 224R, 228R, and torquer v2 are all good daily driven cams. You already have outstanding heads. You best bet is to send the ones you have to advanced induction and get them worked on. For a supercharger just leave everything stock.
