Default Best cam needed for my set-up

I was wanting to find out what cam that would help me on hp & tq ? As of right now i have TEA stage 1.5 heads milled to 64cc with a comp high energy cam 224/224 .583/.583@112 with comp rocker arms,full bolt ons with a LS6 intakeand a 80mm throttlebody,stock bottem end. and pullin a 1.49 60ft with a 11.63@115mph along with the stock rear-end with 3.73 gears and built 4L60 tranny and a 3500 TCI stall. I'm just wondering what kind of cam upgrade is out there that would put me closer to the 10's along with the ported fast intake and bigger inj that i'm going to install in the next few months.And also this is a full weight car 17in wheels with ET streets 40 series tires and packin the front wheels about 8in off the ground.Need some help here ,and trin to stay away from the nos.

Ouch, milling with bigger valves will limit your size cam without flycutting:
I would think this one will fit (better measure though)

230/228 .612/.588 111-1 LSA

Who sells this cam ? I know the valve clearance is probly killin me !! And that is why i was wondering how big of a cam i could go with since i have 64cc chambers on a stock bottom end. But i am leaning toward a LS1 stroker kit for my car and then the clearance really shouldn't matter then i guess .Anmore suggestions maybe or are the limited to a few with outflycuting or changing pistons.

Dial indicator.

You will have to go bigger to get more power and more trq.

another would be 232/234 .595/.576 113+2 LSA (again you better measure PTV)
