Default Stock Head LQ4 Cam Recommendations

Few things have changed. Here are mods. I'm looking for an off the shelf cam that has proven itself in the LQ4 with a basic p&p stock heads.

TH350 Trans with 4k stall
3.73 gears
GBody Swap Headers
LS6 Intake
Ported TB

Not a DD drivability doesn't matter.

What would be a cam that would work well with this setup. I'm reading the ms3/4 won't work well on the lower compression. Not really looking into doing anything custom just something I can buy that would work well. Would also like something that if I did do a head swap it would still be good but flow better and make some more power.

I've searched and can't find much info on stock lq4 heads and cam options. Seems people switch them out quite a bit.

Thanks,

Comp LSR cam. 219/227 .607/.614 112LSA+5 (#54-456-11) Will need a set of beehives, I always use Comps 26918s with it.

Great cam, installed it in about 7 engines. Never had a complaint, easy to tune, great drivability, pulls to 6500(ish) and doesnt give up bottom end.

Made 46hp on a basically stock 5.3L(Headers Only)on a test I did. Id have to dig to find it on a 6.0L.

I installed a variation of it in my personal 6.0L and it made 409rwhp and ran 11.90s and my wife could drive it.

I run a 224/230 .580 lift in a 5.7 so you should be able to go a little hotter and still maintain good driveability...I would use at least that size since you stall is already setup for a nice cam

I'm just looking for someone with something similar that has some dyno numbers. Something that has proven itself in an lq4 with the lower compression.
