Default Comp Cam Help

1998 Z28 Camaro automatic. I am putting a 6.0 HO out of 2005 Escalade in the car. The cars mods so far are CAI, LS6 Intake, Pacesetter LT's w/pacesetter ORY, Borla Cat Back Exhaust, UMI Controls Arms and UMI K-member, lakewood rear control arms, edelbrock panhard bar, strange 12 bolt rear end with 3:55 gears. I now need to do the motor. 6.0 stock HO from 05 escalade, 243's ported and polished, ls7 lifters, compcam pushrods and compcam valve springs. I just need a cam and stall converter and I can start putting this back together. The car will be driven on the street but I want it to be around 11.5's! I am buying a stall converter to fit whatever big cam someone can help me with! Like I said, I do want to go with a compcam's cam. Thanks everyone!

If you're looking for a shelf cam, I like the 54-459-11 and the 54-460-11, you may have P to V issues with the larger cam and milling.

Here's some other good Comp Cams shelf grinds:#54-458-11(227/235 113lsa +4), #54-446-11(232/234 112lsa +2).
IMO, I'd lean towards a custom grind if you want the LSL or LXL lobes, or just don't see the need for the wide split like I do.
I'd look at something like a 227(lsl)/230(lxl) 111lsa+2 or a 231(lsl)/234(lxl) 111lsa +3.
