Default help me pick a 408 cam

my build is a 408 with ls6 intake, 1 7/8 lts, tea stage 2 ported 317's, 11 to 1 compression, asp underdrive pulley and 4.10s. this is going into my 00 ss m6 and will see spray in the future. i was thinking either the thunder racing stroker cams, ragin racing striker cam or eps 248/254 cam. i originally had a cam only ms3 in my ls1 and loved it so i want to go bigger and choppier for this motor. car will be raced 5 times a year at the track, taken out on weekends and sometimes do a little around town driving so drivability isnt really a factor.

i'm sure you already know this but a 102/102 would really help out over that ls6. but anyways all those cams sould like they will work great with your combo. something like a 247 lsl/254 xer or so on a 112+4 or so would be great also. my little cam is a 244/248 on a 110 +1 and i like it.
