I'm assuming you're running an M62 Supercharger, correct?
As far as the which camshaft you should get, check out Turbo Tech Racing and see what they have for your particular year. Also what are you tuning with? Reason for asking is because whenever you do change your cam profile, its essential to accommodate the changes.

Holy grammar and spell check. Read over your own typing before you post so that others can understand it. And about cams, you have the 32 bit computer L61 motor which is incapable of accepting a direct new bolt in cam because of the cam position sensor. Just like the 2007+ cobalts.

Nope no off the shelf cam you would have to by the cam and then find someone even willing to press the cam sensor on. In 07 GM put the cam sensors on the cam. 00-06 L61s are the only ones with readily off the shelf cams.

Idle is a little louder deffinatly lopey. My car doesn't like cold starts it will throw a random cyclinder misfire code on really cold days then once it heats up no issues. My ex girlfriend had no issues driving the car, so driveablility wan't horribly affected.
