Blower cam advice

I am trying to look for a blower cam and i need some advice, i have lsx376 which is 9 to 1 compression forged pistons. i have 2" longtubes and a d1sc through a 4l60e 3400 stall. I was looking at a few different ones. the car is a street/strip car.

Gt9 cam 215/247 629/656 121
Comp cam 285 lsr 235/251 621/624 115
Comp cam 293 lsr 243/259 624/624 116

or any other ideas?

So do you want a smooth idle, or choppy idle ?

Im now using the GT9 in my 382. It idles nice and smooth, power delivery is also pretty good and seems quite happy to pull 7k.
Exactly what I wanted.

The lift does concern me a little about longevity of valve spring life though, but I'm taking the risk.
