Default What cam works the best with LS6 heads?

I have a set of Patriot Stg 1 ported LS6 heads, cheap pair i got for 1100 fully assembled. Right now i have a LPE GT2-3 cam, its pretty small but i put down 393/372 with this setup thru a ported LS6 intake and TD's-was wanting to upgrade the cam to something bigger and get at least somewhere around the 440/400 mark with these heads. Is it possible? I see some setups that don't put down much more than me and they have cams in the 230 range? what do you guys think? I'm an M6 btw with stock 3:42 gears

Way too many ways to interpret best...To see the power level you want though you're gonna need to take a cam out of the "BIG" category, like something in the MS3/4 range...

Are you still running stock compression? I've always been curious as to how my setup would do with a 90/90 but its just so damn expensive-hard to find one for under $800, someone also suggested a custom grind cam, thanks for the replies
