MS3 is a little agressive for a DD. I think you'd be happy with the Torquer V.3 or the Torquer V.2 Any of these cams should put you close to 400 hp.

"too big" is a relative term.

some guys daily drive cams like the MS4 and TRex

others find cams in the low 23x range too much to drive daily.


i would go for something like the El Torro cam. its been making great power but tunes for near perfect driveability.
other similar options would be the Futral F12 or F13...possibly the F13 High Lift


oh and you'll also want to get the LS6 intake or go big first and get the FAST.

Just do it right with supporting boltons first and cam later. Without a stall if you go to any cam worth swapping to you will have DD issues. You will also be disapointed in the power gain. Exhaust/stall first,intake next and cam last....
