Camshaft/spring recommendations
I find that the more I delve into reading about cams the more confused I get . I hear great things about the F13 and the F14, but they are a pretty close split, and I want to run N2o or a S/C later on. I also plan to run PRC or AFR heads down the road on stock displacement.
This is not a daily driver, primarily a once a week to work and weekend car show/track car. I want 390-400 rwhp, gobs of torque with good power under the curve.
Here are the mods that I have on my 346 M6;
PS LT's (race only)
TSP True Dual 3" exhaust
4.10 gears (my rear end is broken, going to get a 12-bolt w/ 4.10's)
LS6 Intake (should I go to an LSX, Cam-only?)
Stallard Ported TB (ya I ported it, hehe) + Fernco mod
02' Z06 MAF
Lid/Filter
Taylor 10.4's NGK plugs
All Free mods
Ram HD Clutch/pressure plate, billet steel flywheel
Tune by Gomer, 327/331 before headers and exhaust
If there is a better cam for non-N/A applications that makes good N/A power, please point me in the correct direction.

I would call one of our sponsors and give them your future upgrades, Most are really helpful, Also I wouldn't go with the LSX stuff unless you go big cubic inches even then not sure, I see better results out of the LS6 intake.

I dont see spraying the F13 or the F14 being a problem. Im spraying the F13 right now & havent had any problems. I havent got to dyno yet but I think you'd be very pleased.

You need to seriously consider what you will end up doing with the car. When it comes to cam choice there is a HUGE difference between nitrous and forced induction grinds. I would also consider going bigger. With your steep gears it'll fly.

I appreciate the advice. I like Supercharging, for the sake of something new, (have had N2o before) but N2o is so easy to buy into that I will go that route unless a S/C falls into my lap really inexpensively.
I spoke with Futral and Thunder Racing, both have good deals and cams. I have been recommended the 230/236 from TR and the F13-112 or F14-112 from Futral. I am going to get dyno sheets to look at the curves, etc.
