Default Help me pick a LS cam

I'm looking at a MS4 cam or a Trex cam but I might be willing to get a custom cam made by someone. I read about alot of guys being good on choosing cams but I'm not sure who to go with. I know there are alot of guys who have tons of experience with LS fuel injected motors but mine is a carb LS. So I'm looking for someone who has great success with making a good LS cam for my carb application. Here are my specs:

364 Gen IV steel block ARP everything
4.005 Wiesco +7cc forged pistons
stock crank
aftermarket 6.125 rods with arp 2000 bolts
AFR 225 large bore heads milled down to yield 62cc's
target compression of 12to1
Th400 (Tbrake)with a 10inch Hughes 3800 stall, 3.73's on 28X10
69 Camaro 3600lbs
Prosystems 850 carb on Vic jr MSD 6012 with stock coils
NX Gemini twin plate 100hp to start to max of 300hp
I'm looking to drive my car on the street on 93 octane ,112 on motor at the track and 118 on N2O at the track.

What do you guys think?

That motor sounds pretty close to what is going in my car now. I am using SNL Performance's v.X cam, which is somewhat close to the MS4. It made good power in my LS2 with stock 243's, so I'm expecting some pretty good numbers with the new heads.

Don't run a shelf grind as it will not be optimal for your Vic Jr. You definitely need a custom.....
