Default new cam recomendation - up from F1

I was giving some thought to changing cams when I installed my new heads in a few weeks. Currently I have an F1 - 230/226 .591/.569 112lsa. Just the other day it made 394rwhp with it still running a little rich. The heads I have coming are LS6 heads which are going to be "velocity" ported by JPR. I was thinking of going with a custom comp cam, but I'm not sure just how big I should go. I don't want to run into any problems with PtoV clearance. The heads are going to be milled .010 at most - just to clean them up.

Do you think a larger reverse split, maybe a 232ish single pattern, or maybe a standard split. Also, what do you guys think about going with an XE-R lobe on the exhaust vs the XE? Maybe something like a 230/234 both XE-R lobes? Any PtoV clearance problems there?

I am taking any and all suggestions.

Also - this is going to be an NA car.

I was thinking about trying out a bigger reverse split maybe - to do something a little different -but I think I would run into some PtoV issues.
