Question what is a good cam kit

i have a 88 camaro with a 5.7 350 crate engine w/vortec heads, and i blew the timing chain right threw the timing cover. so i guess this is the time to put a better cam in it. what is a good cam kit and what timing gears should i put in as well. thanx

You will need to make sure that whatever cam you are going to put in it is matched to your heads and intake. Putting mismatched components in is a recipe for poor performance and possible engine damage.
