What do you want it to work for? Application wise.

It all depends on your tuner.

My **** is slow. But my setup really sucks right now. Never have had it on the dyno, so I can't give you a HP number. I still have 273's and my converter is a bit tired. (Don't flame, all that is being changed in a couple of months) It only ran a 7.92 at 89 mph in the 1/8. Full weight with the car seats in the back.

Read the specs in my sig, I have a similar cam 233/239 with .600 lift and good LS6 heads on 377 and it made 480 at the wheels. I think that cam will work great.
My friend has a similar motor as mine with 228/234. His cam is mild compared to mine.
Anything over 230 is a good race cam.
