Need Camshaft Recommendations

OK, I am rebuilding the engine in the GTA and I need some help with what cam to get. I am going 0.030 over with flat top pistons, balance and blueprint everything. Everything else is stock as I want this as a daily driver and want everything to work in unison and run smooth with no problems. I am also upping the spring rate to match the cam so I need recommendations also. Also, going with LT1 injectors too. I have heard of using the ZZ4 cam or the LT1 Hot cam but any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Josh Jacob

Re: Need Camshaft Recommendations

Also, what other upgrades should I do at this time. I want to keep the stock exhaust manifolds and intake so everything looks and functions completely stock. Basically, just internal work.

Exhaust upgrade is one of the best bang for $$ mods.
Little point in doing internal mods if gases can't get away

I say this frequently and will say it again: http://www.cammotion.com/ContactUs.aspx

If you want a cam recommendation then get one from experts like the folks at Cam Motion... End of story

I am thinking of going this route. See my old cam in sig. I need something that will run circles around this old cam and put me in the low 11's with the set up I have now, although, I'm not sure if it's possible or not?
