Cam for lq4

I need some assistance with suggestions for a cam. I just got an lq4, motor is going to be bone stock as far as internals and heads go. Mods will be pretty much full boltons, 150 wet shot, th400 w/3600 yank, stock rear, car weighs 3620 with me an 1/4 tank of gas. Below is a spec I was given from Predator-z but hes away and not taking pms to get the final specs for a custom grind. Let me know if you guys have any other suggestions for me, Id like to order the cam next week if possible.

231/235 .617/.621 110+1 LSA

That's a cam, but I would look into having your 317's milled approx .030 to bump the compression some or finding a set of 243's or 862's and having them ported.

that cam was specd with the stock 317s and low compression in mind. I have a set of 243s from my ls1 that has a bent valve. Right now im just going stock 317s and running this setup for awhile. its a budget build dont want to spend money on stock heads, the car will eventually go to a 408 but this is what im working with for now.

I went with the cam i posted in my OP, just called up texas speed and they gave me the ICL and they know the lobe type. This was a custom spec cam from predator-z. I will be spraying a 150 shot and i dont have the motor in the car just yet. I'm actually planning on putting it in today
