cam selection
What would be your recommendation for a cam for a c5z with Trickflow 215 heads. We can mill them to whatever need be to get the combustion chamber to the right cc. The car has the following mods waiting to go on. I would like the car to run like a raped ape. I don't really want a bunch of drivability issues. I will reach out to Pat g at the end of the day to get his opinion on this but in the meantime, we can see what everyone's thought on it is on here.
1 7/8 American racing headers
offroad x pipe
fast 102/102 intake and throttle body
Trickflow 215 heads
underdrive balancer
tr6ix spark plugs
new belt
new plug wires
At this point I'm really leaning towards the original street sweeper cam from FTI with the specs as follows 236° - 240° - 111° - .631" - .610"

Lunati has some smoking hot deals on their "Black Magic" line of cams, for sure that one of them would suit your engine.

For a street driven 5.7 The Cam Motion Titan 4 227*/232* 113*+4* will still be able to be easily tuned and have ~good street manners.
236/240 111* will require an exceptional tune which Pat G. is more than able to perform, But will still be a pain to drive in stop and go,
part throttle, & low rpm drive ability. Even the Titan 5 232*/238* 113*+4* would drive better.
Just my .02
