if you don't mind a rough idle, cams can get pretty aggressive to pump the HP up and shift the torque curve. i'd look at the forum vendors' websites and see what they can offer you. also look at head upgrades to go with your cam. this is a common combo upgrade(heads/cam) to do at the same time and further increase your benefit from the upgrade. if you don't upgrade the heads, you will most likely have to spend more on upgrading other parts to go with the cam instead of the heads.

Very good advice. A cam only gets you half there, cams and heads go together like exhaust and intake.I would try a good tune with something like HPtuners on a dyno, then see if you want more.

Exactly. I was going to say "too loud noise" but I just didn't put anything after "loud" because some think it's music. So, I meant loud whatever sound, drone or lope, noise or music, whatever.
So to what extent of lift the cam makes stock-like idling sound? .560? .590?

if you're talking about the exhaust idle sound, that is more affected by the lope of the cam rather than the lift.

that cam is 224/220 .581/.581 116. 116 lope is the same as stock, but lifts are up at .581. sounds really close to stock idle and smooth.
someone please correct me if i am wrong in my reasoning for exhaust idle being controlled a lot by the lope.

Intake duration + Exhaust duration/2 - (2*LSA)
My cam 215 +232/2 = 223.5 223.5- 234 = -9.5
-9.5 = very little lope... -10 or more negative sounds close to stock...
