Cam recommendation for built 6.2L

Looking for a cam recommendation for this setup:

6.0 iron block bored to 6.2L
LS2 crank/rods
Forged pistons with valve relief
PRC 225 as-cast heads with PRC dual spring .650 lift
11.4:1 CR
long tube headers
Fast 102 intake
Morel lifters
manual trans
Ford 9" 3.55 gears
26" tall tire

Car is not a daily driver but driven often in the summer. Maybe 4000 miles per year.

I checked Texas Speeds website and was considering the Tsunami or MS4 cams. Any thoughts on those or other cams?

thanks

How do you want it to behave? Do you want a racy idle and max power, or do you want a sneakier idle and smoother drivability?

I don't care about a sneaky idle, but I am looking for as much power as possible while keeping the driveability good

You have good compression which allows for a little more camshaft, but not a lot of rear gear, so you have to take that into account. So, with that said, I would go with this cam: 237/243 111+2.5.

You can order this from Cam Motion as Grind # XA237/365-X243-355-11+2.5. It is not listed on their website yet, but if you just tell them this grind number, they will set you up. This cam will work with beehive springs that can handle .620 lift, but I would use double springs myself.

This camshaft will flat get it done with your set up. If you go to 4.10 gears later, it would be even better.
