Where does one aquire an LT1 cam?

My 92 LO3 is begging for one. I want. Aside from people in Missouri that I don't know, are there any shops/sites/places I can get an LT1 cam? Would the dealer sell it?

thanks for the advice. The valvetrain stuff can get really expensive. A set of 1.6 rockers & springs would cost me around 380 bucks new. I will definately be looking on E-Bay.

I heard that you had to do computer adjustments if you put in a new cam. I assume I don't have to do this with the LT1? What's the best cam I can get aside from an LT1 that won't require this?

And what about lifters with the new LT1?
