Default best cam for stage 2.5 heads

so i have a set of texas speed 2.5 243 heads. Just got in today my ls7 lifters, in motion timing chain set, arp bolts for rods, heads, headers, etc Also got in a ported ls6 oil pump. as far as my next buy goes, i'm really looking to get help on either spec'n a cam out or choosing one off the shelf. this will be going in my ctsv which has a ls6. I want this cam noticeable and to put out some good numbers. really looking to see if i can push to the 500 hp n/a. I do like to drive the car every day due to the work truck getting boring. so don't suggest a cam thats too radical. thanks

I have had 9 cams. most off the shelf and two from Pat G. I feel Pat G is the way to go for a cam. He had improved My car on two combos with his cam work. It really don't cost much more and the wait isn't really any longer. I would say if you want the best call him up but since you already skimped on buying budget heads,you need all the help you can get....get a Pat G cam. lol

Two cams here. One off the shelf by Futral Motorsports and another I had custom spec'd by them. Great way to go and should get you to reach your goals.
