Default Need help with cam selection!

First and foremost, I am a new member to the forum also to the Corvette world for the past 15 years I've been a hard-core Ford guy my last car was a 9 second cobra I just recently picked up a 2002 z06 basically stock besides a black wing intake.

Fast forward a few days ago I decided to order myself some headers 1 3/4 headers along with the off-road X pipe also going to do straight pipes.

Not too sure where I'm going to go with the car yet, but for now I would like to do Full bolt on's and a cam.

The two different cams and I've been looking into has been a LSX "StreetSweeper Specs: 236*-240*-111*-.631"-.610"

Also I have been looking into a MS4 Cam as well Specs:239/242 .649/.609 112

Can anybody tell me the pros and cons of these both I'm looking to make the most power I possibly can with bolt-on and a cam the car is not a daily driver so It can have a rougher idol does not really matter to me to much!

Maybe by next year I will put a A&A supercharger on there but for now this is what I am looking to do with the car for now.

Do not have personal experience with either of those cams but I recently installed a Torquer V.4 from TSP. 231/234 629/615 on a 111. 03Z made 436/412. Choppy idle for sure but drives really well. No surging even under 10 mph. Hope this helps.

Those are some pretty good numbers what all supporting mods did you have to make the 435/412?

CAI, ported stock TB, Kooks 1 7/8 LT's with X pipe, no cats. Stock heads. Works well with up to a 200 shot but only running a 100 because I need more fuel lol.
