Default cam suggestions??

im doing heads and cam on my 99 z28. i have some prc stg 2.5 5.3 heads. they are milled to 59cc. my goal is low 11s on motor and 10s with a 100 shot. i know i cant run a huge cam with the small chambers but i want my goals to be met. dont really want to wait for a custom grind. any off the shelf cams that will get me closer to my goal? looking at vrx5 sns stg 2 and g5x3. any others i should look into? any help would be greatly appreciated. i dont want a cam that makes all its power up high but also dont want one that doesent make any power up high.

I think the MS3 cam is about as big as you can go here. I'm running a cam identical to that with the same heads and it works great!

Well I'm running a LQ9 now, so it's all different.

Plenty of guys running the PRC stage 2.5 5.3/MS3 combo without flycutting and it's a strong combo as well.
