Default Can't decide on my next cam! PLEASE HELP!

My choices are: TSP 228R, VRX4, VRX3, or a Patrick G custom cam. I am using some PRC 2.5 5.3L heads (unmilled w/ 2.02/1.575 valves), and a ported FAST 90mm intake w/ all other bolt on's. I want to run the best cam I can fit without having to flycut w/ the use of GM MLS gaskets. Please help!!

Id consider the custom grind. Im sure there are quite a few people with your setup, so dyno numbers and track times are definately out there!!!

FWIW, Im doing a custom grind with the same heads & HG's as you, but Im milling them and flycutting too.
