Default C5 Zo6 w an LS2 Long Block....Cam to go W?!?!

Engine: Ls2, Stock Internals, Stock 243s Milled just for clean up.

Its a 3200lb street car, I dont drag race it at all, had the Vengeance Racing VRX5 Camshaft- 236/238 .601/.605 113+2 in it, but want some more power thru the whole RPM range, Ill be taken this car down threw the mountains and I corner carve w it.

Example: US 129 aka the Dragons Tail. 318 curves and switch backs in 11 Miles

Car has Cold Air Intake
Kooks LTs w OR X-Pipe
Factory Zo6 Ti Mufflers
160 Stat
Stock 3.42 Gears and will NOT change them out.

Ive been out of the loop for a bit so whats the latest and greatest out there these days?

The cam you have is fine - I wouldn't change it. I would do some heads (AFR-225 or TFS-225) and a FAST-92 intake with an LS2 TB.

That's a lobe

Lope is chop, like the sound and shake you get from a decent cam

Anyway, that size sounds ideal for what you're looking to do, but if it's fragged, check with Ed at Flowtech, Pat G or Geoff with EPS and see what they recommend. Those are cut on proprietary lobes that Flowtech and EPS (respectively) have developed and have cut. Martin at Tick is another solid guy to talk to.

If you're looking for noticeably better power throughout the tach, though, I agree with tlove: you're not going to see that without some top-end mods. When you do decide to do heads, go big or go home: I would get the aftermarket castings if I did it over again.
