Ok, ready for a cam, which one?

Ive got a stock 98 LS1 motor. Ive got ported Mac headers, with the collector mod, true duals, LS6 intake, aftermarket lid, LOTS of weight reduction, 8.8 rearend with 3.73's, Spohn torque arm. Turbo 400 with a brake, and all the goodies on order, havent decided on a converter size yet. I spray a 150-200 shot. The car is not a daily driver, streetability is not really a concern. I like some serious lope. So what cam do you all recommend? All input is welcomed, but please I really dont want to hear "Ive got this cam and like it". I want something that will perform, please tell me what you've got, what you're running and what you would recommend. Thanks in advance!

either one of the above are great for what you are looking for but i feel the 231/237 is a safer choice.

Since it's a track only car I would go with something like 238/244 .600/.600 on 110 duration.You will need to notch pistons and should replace the rod bolts.

With the size shot of n2o he is going to be running , the 230 is not the best choice. THe above mentioned cams like the g5x2or 3 or the tsp231/237 are his best choices. For a track car on the jug , I would stay with a 4000 stall or less if you are going to spray out the hole.
