Man, it's crazy how many of these posts start the same way, without any contextual information.
Brother, we need to know what kind of vehicle it's going in. Car, truck, boat, submarine? Manual or automatic? What stall and gears?
Finally, what do you plan to use it for? Drag racing, autocross, badass daily driver, a bit of all three?

Its going in a 91 C1500 5 speed for now but getting a t56 later. right now it has a 10bolt with 4.10s. Its going to be used as a badass daily driver and drags every once and while. thanks!
Ive heard the f13/14 is one of the best cams you can buy for a stock cube ls1 but bigger isnt always better. The best advice someone could give you is to get in contact with one of our sponsors i.e. Martin @ Tick, TSP, Brian Tooley, or FMS and they can set you up with an off the shelf cam of a custom grind to fit your build and needs. If your serious about buying a cam pick up thr phone and talk to the pros!

You should get heads first before a cam. Chances are you get one of those cams, then later on bolt on a set of worked 243's or 241's and youll get drug by a car with a better combo just my opinion though. Been there done that
For a truck with a T56 I would highly recommend the SNS Stage 1 LS1 camshaft. It is 223/231 .610"/.617" 110+2 and makes plenty of torque to get that heavy truck moving.
I think the cams you have listed so far will make big dyno numbers, but would lose to a smaller cam on the street.
