C5Z Camshaft Upgrade
I'm looking to upgrade the camshaft on my 02 C5 Z06 with 114K miles. The harmonic balancer just recently went bad and needs to get replaced, and everything I read suggests now is the time to install a new camshaft. It is currently completely stock other than the SLP Blackwing intake and PAC 1218 springs + trunnion upgrade kit from COMP Cams (installed within this past year, ~3K miles on them). I mostly use the car for spirited weekend driving and occasional road race track days. I want to get the most amount of performance out of the camshaft while still allowing me to drive it on the street without a ton of bucking and discomfort. All suggestions are welcome.

I have been looking into this over the last few days. I think you would be a good candidate for either Mild 1-3 or Titan 1.

This camshaft appears to be right at the .600" mark, which I'm not sure is pushing the limits of my PAC 1218 springs or not. They are listed as being capable of a .600" lift, but that's right at the maximum.
