Default Best cam for 3.73s?

I already have a moser 12-bolt w/ 3.73 gears, and was wondering wich cam would work best with this setup. Ive heard a lot of people recomending 4.10s with some of the big cams latley, but i would like to stick with my current setup. I will also be adding s2 heads and a 100-150 wet shot later down the road.

Which cams will give me the most power and still work well with 3.73s? I would also like to hit 11s with just a cam if possible.

Maybe a good 230ish cam? TSP 231/237, 232, 230, or something along those lines.

What cam will work w/ x.xx gear ratio? Am I missing something here? Sounds kinda backwards to me.

well what gears you run depends all on you. I know plenty of people that are running around with 23X cams and run 3.42's and dont have any complaints. So dont let the gears be the deciding factor. See if its anyone close to you that has a set up that you like and either ride in the car or try to drive the car to see how you like it.

Irrelevant.
Gear selection has to do with drivability or how fast do you want to reach your peaks at the track.
You can have a 3:23 and get in the 11's, it's your trap speed that will variate.
