Best camshaft without tuning....

First off I know what most of you are going to say...do a search. Well let me say that I have done that route before and I don't have the hours needed to sift through all the comments to get the facts that I am looking for. So please bare with me.

I am wondering what the best camshaft would be for the L98 without having to get into custom programming. One that the stock (ported) MAF, stock (ported) intake, and stock pcm could handle. I am doing this for a friend. I know that not going to big is the way to go. What are you guys running for cams that didn't need a tune to run?? Any help would be great, thanks!

I don't have it yet, but I've heard the Crane 2032 is a great mild cam for the street.

ANy cam with mild stats is going to do you right, as long as you pick one to match TPI characteristics. Your friend is lucky to have a MAF instead of speed density. MAF cars get away with ignoring tuning on a lot more than speed density cars can afford to.

Anything over about 220° @ 0.050" intake duration in a TPI 350 and you'd really want to do some tuning in the chip.
