Question Cam decision time

Im trying to go for the whole 'sleeper' theme and Id like to get a cam that you cant hear lope through the exhaust and I know someone selling an LS6 cam and springs as a set for $150..(yes its used). Im already trapping 112mph, I'd like 114-115, do you think this cam will do the trick or am I going to have to look for a cam with more duration? Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

It depends on what your long term goals are for the car. LS6 cam is good up to around 370hp the g2-3 up to 390 and above that go with the MTI steath cam. Any one of those cams will improve your trap speed by 3+mph.It just depends on what you want in the long run.
