Default Help me pick a cam.

Trying to decide on a cam to go with. Future plans for the car include 370ci forged motor and a procharger, but that's not anytime soon. Car is pretty much where it's going to be for a while. Will be adding TF as cast 220 around Nov, but that's about it. I was thinking about the Brute Speed blower cam, but wasn't sure if that would be a wise decision with my stock 98 heads. Here is my current setup...

98 T/A M6 car w/ 3.90's
SLP lid
Z06 MAF
LS6 intake
ARH 1-7/8 lt's & ORY
Magnaflow CB
Nitrous Outelt Plate kit

So can anyone offer any good advise towards a cam/

Thanks for your input, but any more info on that setup? Your spec or just have experience with it?

my specs taking into account future supercharging. Should peak at around 6200rpm and carry well into 6600+ rpm

That wouldn't call for fly cutting would it? I will probably do valve springs, retainers, and push rods though.

If cam is ground as per the specs I gave, no flycutting at all, plenty space.
