Default Cam?

Hello everyone,

So I have a 05 C6 manual. I am gradually adding mods to the car. I currently have the Vararam intake, Slp 1/3/4 long tub headers with high flow cats with the borla stinger exhaust. So now i am looking at adding a few more mods, such as a fast intake and a cam. My question is I am not looking into getting nothing to big, but can anyone reccommend a mild cam, I guess something that i dont have to change all the internal parts of the motor, and nothing too choppy. Thanks

Run a search, you will find tons of date with respect to idle quality, drivability, Hp numbers, etc.

This question has literally been asked hundreds of times. A search will help you narrow down your thoughts.
