Default Help with blower cam selection

I intend to go with a custom grind, but I am wondering what range I am looking at?

This is going in a Procharged 408/240 ET Head GTO

This car is primarily a weekend car and mostly track now, so big isn't going to bother me any!

I basically need it to help pull me through the big end while not giving up any mid range. And well with the new motor I think the low end will have plenty of power to get me away from the tree.

Any help is appreciated... Thanks as usual!

750rwhp with the D1SC and no spray. Eventually I may upgrade to an F1R and look for more, but I think the D1SC and spray should hold me over until that time comes!

~3800lbs
low low 10s in the high 130s
slicks eventually, for now I am running 15" Bogarts with MT ET DRs mounted. Then I will step up to a slick... still learning to tame the beast!

I made 730rwhp with a 230/236//115 cam, 17psi, and thru a T400 and a 9". I went 136mph with that combo fighting some belt issues.

After I fixed some belt issues (added strut brace), I went on to do 754rwhp with a fatter curve... due to 236/246/114 swap, hit 21 psi on the dyno.

I went 144mph after I dynoed 680rwhp in July. I was seeing about 18psi.

I'm thinking you should not have to go really crazy on the cam to hit say 138mph in the traps.

I was 3450 raceweight for those runs.
