Default Cam Question

I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on a cam selection for my set up. I have an 01 z71 headers, tune, exhaust, e fans, and pulleys. Im looking for a lil more pulling power and a good sound too. I dont want to get to wild with it but im not sure on what cam to buy. Thanks in advance for the help.

2001 ZO6 cam. I ran mine for a year before I swapped it. Had no issues and ran great. Needed something bigger for my SP Charger.

i thought about a Z06 cam swap what springs and push rods did you use? Did it have any lope to it?

I got a great deal on a set of stock heads that a guy put about 1800 dollars into, that I bought for 500. All I can remember is that they came with bee hive spring good up to .600 lift and manley valves. I used my stock pushrods with no problems, even thou the base circle on my stock cam was 1.5 inches and the base circle on the ZO6 cam is 1.52 inches. So technically I should have used shorter pushrods, but I had no problem. The cam did not have much lope to it, but sounded good and gave great mid to high end power, I had to buy 4.11's for the rear to pick up low end power. Of course this took away for mid-high. But over all, very pleased with the ZO6 cam. I do have the ZO6 cam if your interested. Has about 8,000 miles on it. Let me know
