My mods were not far from yours...I had most of the bolt ons covered. Here is the thread from my recent cam install done by 21st Century Muscle Cars here in Dallas ---> http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=634824
I am very happy with the current HP output (385 rwhp), and the driveability is great. Good luck on your search!

If you are close to BlackMagic Racing http://www.blackmagic-racing.com/index.php then give Dave a call and he can design a custom cam for you that will work perfect for your application and needs. His normal small cams (220-224 dur) put out 385-410rwhp in F-bodies and drive excellent. Worth a shot to give him a call. :)

You really need to get with a good mechanic. The cam will depend upon your applicaton. I am getting headers, highflow cats, heads, cam, roller rockers, titanium valve springs, etc. But the cam is being made specifically for me because I autocross. It is not a 1/4 mile car. Get with someone, and explain what you want out of the car. 1/4 miler, street manageable power, autocross, ..... :crazy:

You'll need to go small to pass CA emissions. Probably less than 224 duration and greater than 113 LSA. Go to an experienced tuner.
