Default Should I stick with my T-Rex, or should I get a custom spec'd cam?

Wondering exactly what I put in the title... stick with a T-rex v.1, or sell it and get a custom spec'ed cam? Mods are as follows:

PRC stage 1 LS6 heads
LS6 intake manifold / Ported stock TB
Pacesetters /w bullets off of the headers
Stock bottom end /w new rings and new bearings
42lbs injectors and new fuel pump
Full suspension
Textralia OZ700 Clutch
Speed Density Tune

Any input is appreciated, thanks!

P.S. Forgot to say that I am mainly looking for a max effort cam for my car, and was wondering if it would be worthwhile to pull out the old t-rex and get something custom spec'ed. Also, I am not afraid of high duration, high lift, low LSA cams.

It depends on what you want from your car. I swapped my T-ReX for a 228/232 and I couldn't be happier. The car is much easier to drive and has a more enjoyable power band. My car is only driven on the street though, so if you're always at the track the T-ReX may be just what you need.

Are your pistons flycut? Youre not gonna be able to fit much if any more cam over stock pistons before you hit P to V issues. Sure you could put more cam in there, but then again are your heads up to the challenge?

Like I said, I will have some PRC stage 1 LS6 CNC'ed heads, so I assumed since they are a stock style head, the T-Rex should make some pretty decent power with them. And the PRC's come with extra PtV clearance (not much, I am sure) but I'd also be willing the flycut the pistons as needed.
