cam ideas????
im sure you guys have been asked this 1000 times...but what would you suggest
355 10:1 CR
Team G intake with 750 demon carb
AFR 195 cc heads
Hooker long tube headers with true dual exhaust
700r4 with 2800 stall(prolly gonna go with 36-3800 when i can afford it)
3.73 rear
200 shot of nitrous
the car is a weekend car, i have a daily driver, but i would still like it to be "streetable" emissions arent a problem, i found a way to beat the system there. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

With a Team G intake I'd forget the little hyd. cam. It won't rev high enough. Get a Solid roller about 248-254@.050" and .600" lift. ground on Wide LSA for Nitrous power and good street drivability. 112+ LSA
Phone Comp Cams and get them to spec in the right cam for your car. You're giving up way to much by not camming a hot motor like yours properly.
Don't skimp on the exhaust system, this motor is going to want to breath.
Check out Comp cams #12-772-8 except order it custom ground on 113* lobe separation angle for more power with the nitrous and a nicer street idle. Cost is the same.
or Comp's #12-900-9 (288-AR-6), again custom ordered on 113LSA. It's going to be right around this ballpark.
