Need cam advise
I have c6 05 z51 and I install Kooks headers 1 7/8 with 3 x pipe, SLP under drive pulley, and vararam intake, and I’m thinking to install cam, I’m using my car on a daily basis, I need your advice about which cam should I install ?? do I need to change the rocker arms too or it’s not that important ?
Thanks folks

This is a topic that is always floating around. Unfortunately it is about like asking what type of woman should I marry. A lot depends on what you like and want. Maybe describe some characteristics that you don't want and some you do. You will get more response from people. Typically, most people go with a 228-232 cam. Good luck with your search.
I would suggest finding a local tuner and go check out some cars that they have and talk to them.

i just did a livernois stage 1 on my a6, with 1 3/4 headers and cai it made 444 and with them tuning it, the drivability is excellent
that is an ls3, i imagine and ls2 would be a bit less, but overall i am very pleased with the cars power, drivability and the lope is sick

C6_Z51, is your car an auto or manual? Typically we recommend our stage 1 or stage 2 camshaft. With these cams we've never had to flycut the pistons, although always advise you check when doing a cam swap. They make excellent power and retain very good drivability.
Specs are:
Stage 1 - 224/224 .568/.568 114 LSA
Stage 2 - 232/232 .595/.595 114 LSA
The stage 1 can be found here and the stage 2 can be found here
Thank you
Regards,

Im not sure where you are located but give Ron at Vengeance Racing a call. They are a supporting vendor on the forum. I had them do the Cam/FAST 92mm on my 07 LS2. With a VRX5(236/238 601/605 113 +2) the car made 451/436 picking up about 20 hp everywhere under 3,000 rpm. The car drives great but it lopes like a ****

Thank you all for your replay, my car is MN6, and my exhaust is the stock exhaust cuz i don't like it to be loud especially when i drive my car and my wife is setting next to me 
, actually the idle that im looking for is to get some power and in the same time to drive it daily cuz the wether in my country is very very very hot (Kuwait).

For camshaft selection I would use something like our 2X camshaft. It'll give you great reliability, about 30+ RWHP(depends on supporting mods), and the idle will be good.
