Default Help me pick a blower cam!

Hey guys I just got my a A&A P1SC kit for my 02 Z06 and i'm already thinking ahead. Right now I'm assembling parts to put together a forged motor and when I do I need a cam to compliment my mods. Motor will be a 346-347, 69cc 317 castings fully ported and compression will be around 9.5-9.75. Procharger will most likely be upgraded to a D1SC if need be. Goal is 650 RWHP by 6300 rpm. The cam must be very daily driver friendly and make power quickly without falling of at the top, so in escence more power under the curve is better than peak #'s. the 2 cams I was leaning towards after doing alot of research here are the 220/224 or the 224/230. Now comp makes a 224/230 on XER lobes on a 114+2, the 220/224 can come in either XE or XER lobes-so I'm not sure what you guys have found work better on a blower the slower or faster acting lobes. Also what about advance is a 114+4 good or just straight up at 114. The 224/230 is right out of the comp catalogue and comes on a 114+2. I know Slowhawk likes the 220/224 from Combination Motorsports over the 224/230-i think he said he gets it on a 115-advance i'm not sure? I would of thought the 224/230 would of made more power but his testing shows the opposite. What do you guys think?
thanks!

Have you thought about the LPE GT2-3 207/220 .578/.581 118.5
Granted its small but it has been good for FI applications.

That F7 is like a 224/230 right? Is there any advance that cam? The 224/230 I mentioned is from comp and it has +2 degrees of advance. What's the F7 like for driveability and low speed torque-what's the midrange like?

I have a 220/224/568-568/114 XER lobe in my 02Z with a p1sc-1 @9# the drivabilty of the cam is awesome and makes the power very quick and under the curve

Is there any advance in that cam (220/224) and are those not XE lobes-the lift figures match up to XE lobes?

Now that's what I'm talking about. Is that cam the 220/224 on a 115 you told me about? Does it have any advance? And are those XE or XER lobes-i think you recomended I call Combination Motorsports about this? Are those heads the 205's or 225's? Thanks!
