Default TSP 233/239 for C5?

I have been looking at cams, and I really can't make up my mind. The car has full bolt-ons, and will also have stock 243 heads. I plan to keep the stock gears till I blow the rear, then upgrade to 3.73's or 3.90's. I also want to spray the car with a 100-150shot. The car is more of a street car than strip, I wanna be able to hit 130mph in the 1/4. Would this cam work well for me? Anyone have any dyno graphs with stock 243 heads? Hopefully someone from TSP can chime in. I want to be able to hit 420/390 with an LS6 manifold, and have good power under the curve. I have also been looking at the MS3, but I think the 233/239 might perform better on the motor. Thanks for any help.

Dave

I've had two freinds use that cam with good results.

Don't know what track times they get but I've seen 400rwhp cars with that cam and the ls6 intake manifold. Don't think that you'll get 390 torque though.
